Calendar is slow and hard to manage #43

The events manager is reported hard to navigate when adding events:

I tried to mitigate this. I'm not that happy with the result, but current status is we have 2 calendars:

This also has the benefit of cleaning up the "Upcoming Events" feed at the bottom of the home page, which now lists only the public events (rather than mostly listing committee meetings, which are not going to be useful for non-members of those committees).

However, I'm worried the cure might be worse than the disease, because maintaining 2 calendars will definitely have trouble with synchronization (when public events change, they have to change in both calendars). In addition, the public events still have these problems, but our wonderful volunteer room reservation coordinator no longer has to deal with them, for the most part.

I'm leaving this open because all the same problems are still present for the public events, but the priority is reduced. (Note: this change is the primary way to address https://github.com/CVUUFellowship/church/issues/42)
