[turba] turba as carddav client

No and yes.

> extract for internal use just the attributes such as name and  
> email(s) which are really required for the horde modules and/or  
> should be editable in turba, but just store all the others and do  
> the sync magic with the clients without trying to interpreting them  
> (an approach I know from davical).
