Do not send invites on import

[georgehrke]

further work once nextcloud/server#5304 is in

will require changes to the server

Make it configureable via checkbox in import dialog or simply never send invitations on import?

I would prefer the latter one.

As @ggeorgg noted in nextcloud/server#5304, users should be able to select on import whether to send absolutely no invites or only invites for future events.

Given that nextcloud/server#5304 will result in no invitations being sent for past events anyway, we have to options here:

• send absolutely no invitations
• send invitations for future events only

I could imagine a checkbox: [ ] Send invitations for future events
It should not be ticked by default imho

So what is the value of sending invitations for future events? Your previous calendar software presumably has done that already so wouldn't it be a double invitation? Or do you need to sent new invitations to upgrade recipient calendars to your new calendar URL? In that case, 99% of the users probably wants the new invitations to be sent...

I have the feeling there's a right answer for 99% of the use cases ;-)

But when all my recipients are on the same server, this is not necessary. The appointments appear in the recipients calendar automatically.
