Remove Spirit Airlines (defunct — merged into Frontier)

Spirit ceased operations, so the fetchSpiritStatus path and all NK
references are dead code. Pulled out:

- AirlineLoadService: drop `case "NK"` from the router, delete
  fetchSpiritStatus (the GetFlightInfoBI POST that was returning 403
  even after our APIM key was accepted).
- FlightLoadDetailView: drop the `schedule.airline.iata == "NK"` branch
  and the spiritUnavailableView placeholder.
- FlightLoad model: update the airlineCode comment.
- AirlineLoadIntegrationTests: remove test_NK_spirit and drop "NK" from
  statusOnlyAirlines / knownDailyFlights fallback table.
- AIRLINE_INTEGRATION_GUIDE.md: tombstone the Spirit section and remove
  it from the cheat-sheets and recommendations.

Test suite now: 6 airlines passing (AA, AS, B6, EK, KE, UA), 1 skipped
(XE — WKWebView host required), 0 failures, runs in ~10s.

## 5. Spirit Airlines — PARTIAL (status only, no standby)
## 5. ~~Spirit Airlines~~DEFUNCT
**What you get:** Flight status, station/route data. **No standby — Spirit is a ULCC and doesn't run standby lists.**
**Auth:** Static APIM key (decrypted). Plain curl for GETs; POSTs mostly blocked by Akamai CyberFend sensor.
**Key:** `c6567af50d544dfbb3bc5dd99c6bb177`
```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.spirit.com/customermobileprod/2.8.0/v3/GetFlightInfoBI" \
-H "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: c6567af50d544dfbb3bc5dd99c6bb177" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Platform: Android" \
-d '{"departureStation":"FLL","arrivalStation":"ATL","departureDate":"2026-04-08"}'
```
Seat maps require JWT + CyberFend sensor data (real device + Frida hook only).
Spirit ceased operations and merged into Frontier. Removed from the codebase entirely. Section retained as a placeholder so the numbering below doesn't shift.
