fix(intents): register calendar intent filters so Calendula can be the default calendar (#9)

Calendula didn't declare the intent filters launchers and the system use for
calendar actions, so it never appeared in the "default calendar app" chooser —
on every platform, not just GrapheneOS (issue #9). Android exposes no API for an
app to set itself default, so registering these filters is the only way users can
pick it from the system picker.

Adds to MainActivity:
- MAIN + APP_CALENDAR — the "open the calendar app" action the OS/launchers use.
- VIEW on content://com.android.calendar/time/<epochMillis> and the time/epoch
  mime type — a launcher/clock date tap. The provider's time Uri is parsed into a
  LocalDate and opened on the day view, rooted over the default home view (a new
  sourceless WidgetNavRequest.OpenDate). The .ics import path now ignores the
  calendar provider host so a date tap isn't mistaken for a file to import.

Bumps to 2.11.1.

+## [2.11.1] — 2026-06-28
+
+### Fixed
+- Calendula can now be set as your default calendar app. It registers the
+  calendar-app intent filters the system uses, so it appears in the chooser when
+  you tap a date in a launcher or clock — and opening one takes you straight to
+  that day. Android has no way for an app to make itself the default, so you pick
+  it once from the system picker. Thanks to @abrossimow for the report ([#9]).

   top naming the exact dates in view, with a button to switch the range just for
   the current session (it resets when you reopen the app); the bar can be turned
   off. Thanks to @zmaherdev for the suggestion ([#4]).
+- Automatic backup of local calendars. A new **Automatic backup** option
+  (Settings → Calendars → Backup) periodically exports your local calendars to an
+  `.ics` file in a folder you choose, on an interval you set (from 30 minutes up).
+  Useful for file-based syncing such as Syncthing, or simply as a safety net — it
+  is a one-way export and never touches your synced accounts. Thanks to @shield
+  for the discussion that inspired it ([#7], [#8]).
+- Field icons in the event-form settings. Each optional-field toggle (Settings →
+  Event form) now shows the same icon the field uses in the new-event form, so
+  the list is easier to scan.
+- Help translate Calendula. A **Help translate** link at the top of **Settings →
+  App language** opens the project's Weblate, where you can add or improve a
+  language in your browser — no coding needed. Contributions in any language are
+  welcome.
 
 ### Changed
 - Tidied **Settings → Appearance** into clearer groups (theme & colour, calendar,
   agenda), and the agenda's empty state now reads "You're all caught up".
+- Reworked **Settings → Calendars**. Local and synced calendars are now grouped
+  into collapsible, source-branded cards — each account shows its app's icon —
+  with a per-account menu to enable or disable all of its calendars at once or
+  open the account in its source app.
+- Reorganised **Settings → Notifications**: reliable-delivery and snooze settings
+  moved up with the other global reminder options, and the per-calendar reminder
+  overrides now fold into a single expandable section.
+- Moved **Add Quick Settings tile** out of the event-form section to its own
+  top-level entry in Settings.

+- Automatic backup of local calendars. A new **Automatic backup** option
+  (Settings → Calendars → Backup) periodically exports your local calendars to an
+  `.ics` file in a folder you choose, on an interval you set (from 30 minutes up).
+  Useful for file-based syncing such as Syncthing, or simply as a safety net — it
+  is a one-way export and never touches your synced accounts. Thanks to @shield
+  for the discussion that inspired it ([#7], [#8]).
+- Field icons in the event-form settings. Each optional-field toggle (Settings →
+  Event form) now shows the same icon the field uses in the new-event form, so
+  the list is easier to scan.
+- Help translate Calendula. A **Help translate** link at the top of **Settings →
+  App language** opens the project's Weblate, where you can add or improve a
+  language in your browser — no coding needed. Contributions in any language are
+  welcome.
 
 ### Changed
 - Tidied **Settings → Appearance** into clearer groups (theme & colour, calendar,
   agenda), and the agenda's empty state now reads "You're all caught up".
+- Reworked **Settings → Calendars**. Local and synced calendars are now grouped
+  into collapsible, source-branded cards — each account shows its app's icon —
+  with a per-account menu to enable or disable all of its calendars at once or
+  open the account in its source app.
+- Reorganised **Settings → Notifications**: reliable-delivery and snooze settings
+  moved up with the other global reminder options, and the per-calendar reminder
+  overrides now fold into a single expandable section.
+- Moved **Add Quick Settings tile** out of the event-form section to its own
+  top-level entry in Settings.

+### Fixed
+- Calendula can now be set as your default calendar app. It registers the
+  calendar-app intent filters the system uses, so it appears in the chooser when
+  you tap a date in a launcher or clock — and opening one takes you straight to
+  that day. Android has no way for an app to make itself the default, so you pick
+  it once from the system picker. Thanks to @abrossimow for the report ([#9]).
