Add date/time parsing to zoom.coffee

[titaniumbones]

It would be really helpful to be able to add a date to a halpy zoom creation command. Right now hte usefulness of hte script is limited.

• step 1: add the bare functionality.
• step 2: add more advanced date string parsing to allow more natural language inputs & time zone inference.

The chrono js library looks promising for this: https://github.com/wanasit/chrono

There are also some examples of datetime parsing in other hubot scripts, but they're a little hard to read.

In any case the ain work would be to update the robot respond regex. I think if we were doing NL parsing then we'd actually simplify the regex to something like /"zoom me ( .*)/i and then submit msg.match[1] to some more complex parsing. chrono can help with this I think, or we could just be quite rigorous in our requirements & write a more helpful help message. (note: it's now recommended to name the callback parameter 'res' for semantic reasons).

THis is now operational. Relieso n moment.js as well as chrono-node. Currently feels a little inefficient but procesisng power is not really an issue here for this very low-use tool.
