This PR aims to allow partially parsing iCalendar resources that may contain broken events instead of failing altogether.

What is the context where this is used? Is it Webcal or CalDAV context? Because in CalDAV, there's only one event per file and it would only change that instead of a parser error we would get an empty file.

But when there's an option, there shouldn't be a problem.

It's a iCal file accessed by https, so Webcal, I guess. My use case is that I'm using ICSx5 to synchronize it with my device, but it fails if even a single event is missing a required field. If this gets merged I'll probably open a PR with this feature over there. ;)
