lastminute.com: one hotel's headline price for one stay.

The stay for one room as lastminute.com's deal card shows it ("Total
price for 2 nights"), in GBP, with the crossed-out price, free
cancellation, pay later and breakfast or room only. There is no room
list, and no tax is itemised. A hotel lastminute.com marks sold out
answers `availability: sold_out`; dates about a year out and past dates
are a 422; a hotel id with no page, or not listed for the stay, is a
404.

Request body (JSON):

- `hotel` (string; required; min length 1, max length 2048): lastminute.com hotel id, or its page URL (`.../one-aldwych_hid-134218`).
- `destination` (string | null; optional; pattern ^[A-Z]{3}-\d{1,12}$): The hotel's city code (`TOR-5370` is London). Omit it and it is read from the hotel's page.
- `check_in` (string (date); required): First night of the stay, `YYYY-MM-DD`.
- `check_out` (string (date) | null; optional): Departure date. An alternative to `nights` — if both are given, this wins.
- `nights` (integer; optional; default 1; min 1, max 30): Length of stay. Ignored when `check_out` is supplied.
- `adults` (integer; optional; default 2; min 1, max 6): Adults in the one room quoted.
