PATCH: calendar: repeated events from ages ago

PATCH: calendar: repeated events from ages ago

[Peter Stephenson]

Now that I've noticed this is lying around...

Repeated events in calendar entries (RPT keyword) are always updated
precisely once, not until they are in the future.  This fixes that, but
it does it the obvious way so if you're repeating events started a
really long time ago this will take a while.

Lightly tested but unlikely to be further tested until it fails horribly.
