It does extremely useful things like execute sendmail and spew dubiously
accurate factoids.
From the feedback, it seems like it is an essential utility in a modern unix
and not at all a useless bikeshed. How do those Linux people live without it?
Reverts r358561.
o Do not run any iconv() processing in -a. The locale of root user is not
what is desired by most of the users who receive their calendar mail.
Just assume that users store their calendars in a format that is readable
to them. This fixes regression from r344340.
o fork() and setusercontext(LOGIN_SETALL) for every user. This makes LANG
set inside a calendar file mostly excessive, as we will pick up user's
login class LANG.
o This also executes complex function cal() that parses user owned files
with appropriate user privileges.
Previously it was run with privileges dropped only temporary for execution
of cal(), and fully dropped only before invoking sendmail (see r22473).

calendar(1) can have input in various encoding, specifying
LANG=<locale_name> to enable calendar(1) to determine which one to use.
The problem is the content of the calendar itself is exposed as is making it
unreadable in many cases. For example french calendar which is encoded
ISO8859-1 is rendered badly in a fr_FR.UTF-8 environment.
Using iconv allows to solve this issue.
This will also allow to keep only 1 encoding in base for those files without
breaking user existing setup

* reflecting my privileges only for ports/, with mentors' entries;
* did test it with dot (graphics/graphviz) to check accent support.
9. usr.bin/calendar/calendars/calendar.freebsd
* added birth date + place.
'calendar.freebsd' offers UTF-8, so I added my entry using proper accents.
