res_calendar: Add support for fetching calendars when reloading

We use a lot res_calendar, we are very happy with that, especially
because you use libical, the almost alone opensource library that
supports really ical format with all types of recurrency.

Nevertheless, some features are missed for our business use cases.

This first patch adds a new option in calendar.conf:
fetch_again_at_reload. Be my guest for a better name.

If it's true, when you'll launch "module reload res_calendar.so",
Asterisk will download again the calendar.

The business use case is that we have a WebUI with a scheduler planner,
we know when the calendars are modified.

For now, we need to define 1 minute of timeout to have a chance that
our user doesn't wait too long between the modification and the real
test.  But it generates a lot of useless HTTP traffic.
