Support additional event properties

[Andrea Milke]

Currently the CONTACT, GEO, COMMENT and RESOURCE property don’t seem to generate output anywhere. Especially the CONTACT property would be nice, so you can add an email address to an event. With a config switch so you can choose not to have it shown.

See https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5545

As I’ve noted in our email correspondence on this issue, most source calendars do not actually include these fields in their data, so ICS Calendar doesn’t currently support them. I’m evaluating the possibility of adding some kind of “catch-all” input that would allow you to turn on these additional, less-commonly-used fields for inclusion in the event description hover box/lightbox.
