Pretalx: Broadcast Tools (and more)

This is a plugin for pretalx.

This adds the following features to your pretalx instance:

• Lower Thirds ("Bauchbinden") for using with something like OBS
• a "room info" screen, if you want to show information about the currently running talk outside the room
• a pdf export containing information about a talk, so video helpers can have easy access to the needed information

Screenshots

The first two screenshots show the talk "Compatible static software" by "Stephanie Fisher", which was generated by the create_test_event command. The event color is #EA652D, a bright orange. The track color is #857EB0, a light purple. The last screenshot shows "Multi-layered encompassing paradigm" by "Michael Rodriguez".
