feat(intent): handle ACTION_EDIT and broaden .ics MIME types

Round out the calendar-intent surface toward AOSP/Etar parity — the app
already handled VIEW (date + event), INSERT, and .ics open/share, but was
missing the edit action and the alternate .ics MIME labels.

- ACTION_EDIT on content://com.android.calendar/events/<id> now opens the
  event in the edit form (previously only VIEW → read-only detail existed).
  An assistant, task app, or widget can hand an event to Calendula to edit.
  A bare EDIT URI with no occurrence extras falls back to the event row's
  own DTSTART/DTEND, mirroring the #48 view-event fallback.
- ACTION_EDIT with no event id (AOSP's "edit a new event") maps to the same
  prefilled create form as ACTION_INSERT.
- The .ics VIEW/SEND filters now also accept text/x-vcalendar (vCalendar
  1.0 / .vcs) and application/ics — the alternate labels the same calendar
  data arrives under from some file/mail apps (matches Etar's ImportActivity).

Deliberately excluded: webcal:// / http(s) remote-calendar subscription
(needs INTERNET, which the app doesn't have) and the Google-web-link handler
(Google-specific + network).

+## [Unreleased]
+
+### Fixed
+- A tidy colour picker on CalDAV calendars. For calendars synced by a CalDAV
+  app (such as DAVx5), the event colour picker showed every colour the account
+  publishes — nearly 150 swatches in alphabetical order, many of them
+  duplicates or near-identical shades. The picker now shows only visually
+  distinct colours, arranged as a rainbow; near-duplicate shades and the
+  washed-out neutrals are folded away so no two swatches look alike. Picked
+  colours still sync exactly as before, and calendars with hand-picked
+  palettes (like Google's) are unaffected. Thanks to @ptab for the report
+  ([#22]).

+/**
+ * Curates an account's published event palette for the colour picker.
+ *
+ * Sync adapters differ wildly in what they publish: Google exposes a
+ * hand-picked two-dozen set, while CalDAV adapters (DAVx5) dump all ~147 CSS3
+ * named colours — including exact-value aliases (aqua/cyan, the gray/grey
+ * spelling pairs) and dozens of visually indistinguishable whites and grays
+ * (#22).
+ *
+ * Crucially, curation runs against the colour the picker actually *paints*, not
+ * the raw provider value. The picker softens every swatch through [pastelArgb]:
+ * it pins lightness to a constant and caps saturation, so the raw palette's
+ * lightness axis is invisible on screen. Two raw colours that look different —
+ * a navy and a mid blue — paint as one swatch, and every neutral (black, the
+ * grays, white) paints as the same pale tint. Judging distinctness in raw
+ * space, as before, left near-identical painted swatches and stranded the
+ * neutrals as a run of look-alike "pinks" at the end of the grid.
+ *
+ * Three steps, all in painted space:
+ *  1. Collapse swatches that paint identically to one (alphabetically-first key
+ *     wins, deterministically) — this folds aliases, dark/light shades of a
+ *     hue, and all the neutrals together.
+ *  2. Oversized palettes (> [CURATION_TRIGGER_SIZE]) drop the washed-out
+ *     neutral-origin tints (painted chroma < [PASTEL_CHROMA_FLOOR]) and are
+ *     then thinned to visually distinct colours: most vivid first, a colour is
+ *     kept only when at least [MIN_DELTA_E] (CIE76, painted Lab) from every
+ *     colour already kept. Small palettes are already curated by their adapter
+ *     and pass through whole.
+ *  3. The survivors are ordered like a rainbow — continuously by painted hue —
+ *     with the wheel cut at its single widest empty gap so the one unavoidable
+ *     seam lands in dead space and no hue family is torn across both ends.
+ *
+ * Every surviving option keeps its provider [EventColorOption.key], so a pick
+ * still round-trips through sync.
