Title: Add Chinese Zodiac goodie

**What does your instant answer do?**
It returns the Chinese zodiac animal for a given year.

**What problem does your instant answer solve (Why is it better than organic links)?**
Much easier than scanning down a list of years or re-inputting the year into an online calculator.

**What is the data source for your instant answer? (Provide a link if possible)**
N/A

**Why did you choose this data source?**
N/A

**Are there any other alternative (better) data sources?**
N/A

**What are some example queries that trigger this instant answer?**
'2004 chinese zodiac animal', 'what was the chinese zodiac animal in 1992', 'what will the chinese zodiac animal be for 2056'

**Which communities will this instant answer be especially useful for? (gamers, book lovers, etc)**
Expectant parents, getters-of-tattoos, Chinese astrologers.

**Is this instant answer connected to a DuckDuckHack [instant answer idea](https://duck.co/ideas)?**
Yes, [this one](https://duck.co/ideas/idea/755/chinese-zodiac-instant-answer). It looks like there was also a [previous attempt to implement this](https://github.com/duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-goodies/pull/188) that didn't go anywhere.

**Which existing instant answers will this one supercede/overlap with?**
Possibly the proposed [Zodiac goodie](https://github.com/duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-goodies/pull/440/commits); both could potentially be triggered by a query ending in the words 'chinese zodiac'.

**Are you having any problems? Do you need our help with anything?**
Any advice would be welcome!

**\*\*Note:** Please attach a screenshot for new instant answer pull requests, and for pull requests which modify the look/design of existing instant answers.
