Support events whose series number contains letters #111

For example M3-2013 summer and winter. One possible solution would be to sort 
all events by date, not number, and make series number free-form.

Started working on this by adding tests for the old code. 

Sorting by date is problematic though because dates for old events are often 
unknown. Also matching would be more complicated. The field type would need to 
be changed from integer to string.

Another option would be to add a new field "display name" for events. This 
field would be optional, and by default it'd be the same as series name + 
number, but could be set to anything. In the case of M3, a simple suffix would 
be enough as well.
