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.
