Problem/Motivation

There is an optional module called social_event_addtocal to add your event to your calendar.
The iCal version is not exporting a correct format .ics file.

Steps to reproduce

- Enable social_event_addtocal
- Go to the config page on admin/config/opensocial/event-addtocal and enable iCal
- Create an event, and export it
- Copy the content of the iCal object and paste it in https://icalendar.org/validator.html and note it fails to validate on multiple parts
- Also test it with different timezone
-- For example UTC as there are 2 ways to define it, the Z as the end or the tzid. Not both.
- Also try to import the ICS into outlook. It will not import due to errors.

Proposed resolution

Rewrite the output so that it passes validation
