calcurse-caldav: Support PasswordCommand option
This commit adds a new `Auth/PasswordCommand` option to support security best practices re: handling secrets in CLI program configuration. Prior to this commit, the two available options for specifying a password were: 1. via the `Auth/Password` config parameter, or 2. via a `$CALCURSE_CALDAV_PASSWORD` environment variable. The former is unsafe for obvious reasons; the latter is unsafe because as long as the script is running, its environment can be accessed via $ cat /proc/<pid>/environ and is thus visible to anyone with access to the system. This commit preserves preexisting behavior (for backward compatibility) but removes all mention of option 2 from the README. Since the README example for option 2 used a password command anyway, there is little reason to continue its use, and this commit recommends it be deprecated.
