[FEATURE REQUEST] Support for 12 Hour Time #257

Using version 4.5.1-8-g74f4-dirty. I am trying to change calcurse to use the 12 hour clock instead of the 24 hour clock. Is this feature supported? Thanks!

When run interactively calcurse uses the hour (time of day) in three places, two for output, one for input.

In the notify bar at the bottom of the screen, the calcurse clock outputs the time (and date). The format can be configured in 'strftime()' fashion to your hearts content. Use the 'n Notify' submenu of the 'C Config' menu.

In the appointments panel, calcurse outputs the time for each appointment. The format is hardcoded as a 24-hour clock (hh:mm). It would not be too difficult to make it configurable.

In several situations calcurse asks for time-of-day input (e.g. when a new appointment is entered). Only a 24-hour format is accepted (hh:mm or hhmm).

How about adding a outputime format option to the general section? It could then be used in both interative and non-interactive mode (and can be overwritten in non-interactive mode by using extended format specifiers).

Yeah, I think adding a setting to make it 12 hour time would be very helpful
