Show an error message when unsuccessful at setting up a CalDAV connection

Describe the bug

I tried to connect a Nextcloud caldav url without a correct username/password combination, but Appointment just silently failed. After hitting "Connect Calendar", it just reloaded the ui and did not reflect the error it was seeing.

We get a 500 from a POST to https://appointment.day/api/v1/cal, but the UI does not show anything wrong.

Here's a video:

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to '...'
  2. Click on '....'
  3. Scroll down to '....'
  4. See error

Expected behavior
An error message should be shown saying "unable to authenticate with remote caldav server" or something like that.

Actual behavior
The "CalDAV — Add calendar" form disappears and nothing else changes in the UI

Good catch, thanks! The CalDAV connection does need some more love, we more or less still have the dev/test setup form there 😅 We should at least make username and password required, in addition to a proper error message.
