How to edit an event

To edit a component like an event, you can append it to the calendar and increase the sequence number.

Example:

1. get the first event --select-index=0 TODO: recurring-ical-events: set recurrence-id, sequence number
2. change the summary
3. increase sequence number
4. add the event to the end of the calendar file
5. show that the occurrence has changed
