[horde] Javascript / Frontend refactoring: Tester wanted

[Ralf Lang]

Hi Nels and Mike,

yes, the javascript testing is best done with JS and Themes caching
temporarily disabled. I already ported some takeaways to the main
development version but kept the branches for imp/ and base/ modules open
for further rework. At least locally for me, kronolith does allow
navigating and editing events. I will do more work over the weekend to get
this moving forward in time for the RC phase.
