Human Alive-ness API

It works by querying Wikidata via SPARQL to search for birth and death dates of a person.

Requires an exact name match. It will throw if it can't find results. It will return true if every match has a birth date and not a death date. (It will return false if a match does not have a birth date, because we assume that to mean they are a historical figure whose birthdate we don't know.)

Create val
@stevekrouse.alive("Henry Kissinger") // true (for now)
