#10449: Add Calendar Events as first-class data type

I am coming across the need to incorporate a calendar of events into sites
more and more often. There are [http://wordpressgarage.com/plugins
/wordpress-calendar-plugins/ many different calendar plugins] but they
have different features and all of them store calendar events differently.
I'd like to propose a standard "''calendar_event''" type be added to
''wp_posts'' to include start date/time and end date/time in
''wp_postmeta'' or added to the ''wp_posts'' table itself, whichever is
preferred. In addition, functionality to add a calendar event (as there
currently is for posts and pages) and a rudimentary events calendar
display both with lots of hooks for plugins to enhance.
If we do this then calendar plugins can provide cumulative functionality
instead of only providing mutually exclusive functionality.
