Per my note to the dev list, this patch adds HTTP authentication support for
remote calendars. 

- The "Remote Calendars" prefs page was changed to accept user/password
inputs, and to allow editing of an existing remote calendar entry
- The "My Calendars" page was updated to add an iCal link to each calendar
to provide a convenient way to copy the corresponding URL
- The lib/prefs.php code was updated to handle the new preference
attributes
- The lib/Kronolith.php class was updated to look up the user/password as
needed

Note that both the user and password are encrypted and wrapped in base64 to
prevent inadvertent disclosure via database queries. The encryption key (an
MD5 hash of the target URL) is not particularly strong, but it is convenient
and it should be sufficient to keep most DBAs honest.
