feat(intents): open .ics/.vcs handed over as application/octet-stream (#74)

Mail clients, browsers and file managers frequently label a calendar
attachment as a generic download (application/octet-stream) rather than
text/calendar, so the MIME-typed VIEW filter missed them. Add a dedicated
filter that matches those by .ics/.vcs extension via pathPattern — kept
separate so the path constraint can't narrow the reliable MIME-typed filter.
The import handler already ignores the declared MIME, so a let-through file
imports normally. Best-effort: reliable for file:// and content:// whose path
carries the name; nameless content:// URIs still fall back to the MIME filter.

didn't advertise — so it was left out of the chooser, and if it was your only
calendar app the save silently did nothing. It now accepts that form, plus the
`INSERT_OR_EDIT` action, and opens the new event prefilled for review ([#74]).
- Opening a `.ics`/`.vcs` file now works even when another app hands it over
mislabelled as a generic download (`application/octet-stream`), as some mail
clients, browsers and file managers do — Calendula recognises it by its file
extension instead of relying on the declared type ([#74]).

<!-- Same .ics/.vcs data arriving mislabelled as a generic download —
application/octet-stream — the way many mail clients, browsers and
file managers hand off attachments. Matched by file extension, so
this stays a separate filter: a pathPattern here must not narrow
the MIME-typed VIEW filter above (that one has no path and must
keep matching regardless of name). The import handler ignores the
MIME type, so a let-through octet-stream .ics imports normally.
Best-effort: pathPattern is reliable for file:// (and content://
whose path carries the filename); content:// URIs that expose no
name still fall back to the MIME-typed filter above. -->
