We've added a neutral ground signifier to all games in the API.
All `sport_event`, `summary`, and `timeline` endpoints will now include a `sport_event_conditions` element with `ground neutral="true"` in cases of a neutral ground matchup.
This matches the current behavior of other General Sport APIs.
