Add support for webcal:// links #5099

Pitch

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webcal

I've been trying to subscribe to an .ics URL and having a very frustrating evening. The attempt to use a webcal link was my last chance but neither Tusky nor Mastodon-Web recognized it as a link. I'm starting to request its support here first...

Motivation

Whoever wants to advertise a public calendar could use the webcal:// scheme to make it clear what the resource is about. The current alternative is to use an http(s) url but then the browser would need to react based on Content-Type ...

In any case, webcal is a IANA recognized scheme so I dont' see why it shoudn't be supported:
