The existing code performed a chdir() into the home directory, but the
parser fell back to using the invoking user's home directory as the base
directory for the search for an include file.
Since use of the -a option is limited to UID==0, the directory searched
was typically ~root/.calendar, not the .calendar directory of the user
whose file is being processed.

The previous behavior was to support nested #ifdef and #ifndef, but to
return to unconditional parsing after the next #endif, independently of
the number of previously parsed conditions.
E.g. after "#ifdef A / #ifdef B / #endif" the following lines were
unconditially parsed again, independently of A and/or B being defined.
The new behavior is to count the level of false conditions and to only
restart parsing of calendar entries when the corresponding number of
#endif tokens have been seen.
In addition to the above, an #else directive has been added, to toggle
between parsing and ignoring of the following lines.
No validation of the correct use of the condition directives is made.
#endif without prior #define or #ifndef is ignored and #else toggles
between parsing and skipping of entries.
The MFC period has been set to 1 month to allow for a review of the
changes and for a discussion, whether these modifications should not
be merged at all.
No correct input file is parsed differently than before, but if calendar
data files are published that use these new features, those data files
will not parse correctly on prior versions of this program.

The convention in this program is to parse the line immediately starting
after the token (e.g. #defineA and #ifdefA define respectively look-up "A"),
and this commit restores this behavior instead of skipping an assumed
white-space character following #ifdef.

There was code to process an #ifndef tokens, but none for #ifdef.
The #ifdef token was mentioned as unsupported in the BUGS section,
but no reason was given and I do not see why it should stay omitted.
Misleading information in The BUGS section of the man-page regarding
the maximum number of #define and #include statements supported has
been removed. These limits might have applied to a prior version of
this program, but do not seem to apply to the current implementation.
I have not tried to test for the existence of the limits, but the
include file processing just recursively calls the parser (without
counting the recursion depth) and the stringlist functions do not
impose a limit on the number of entries.

Move all the data files for the calendar(1) program, except
calendar.freebsd to the calendar-data package. When a file
can't be found, and /usr/local/share/calendar doesn't exist
provide a helpful hint to install this package.

Calendar files in /usr/lcoal/share/calendar take precedence over files in
the base system. They can be provided by a port or package, but since such
a port has not been committed, yet, no specific port name is suggested.
In fact, multiple ports could exist (e.g. per locale) without conflicting
with each other.
Calendar files in LOCALBASE override similarily named ones in the base
system. This could easily be changed if the base system calendars should
have precedence, but it could lead to a violation of POLA since then the
port's files were ignored unless those in base have been deleted.
There was no definition of _PATH_LOCALBASE in paths.h, but verbatim uses
of /usr/local existed for _PATH_DEFPATH. Use _PATH_LOCALBASE here to ease
a consistent modification of this prefix.

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).
