Committed on master, including mhn.defaults entries for
text/calendar and message/rfc822. The man page discussions
are specific to Attach:, though the mhbuild-disposition-*
profile entry doesn't hint at that. But I think that
mhbuild-attach-content-dispostion-text/calender: inline
is too wordy and confusing, though I don't feel strongly about
what it's called.
