Collection sharing (WIP)

[Unrud]

Allow sharing of collections between users. Different share modes can be implemented as plugins (e.g. read and write). Plugins can share modified versions of a collection (e.g. an address book as a calendar with birthdays). They can control read and write access to collection properties and can store their own variants (e.g. every user can have his own display name for a shared collection).

• Share plugins
  • Basic support
  • Store private display name and color for every user (and other properties?)
  • Actually implement birthday plugin
• Rights
  • Check if shared collections allow write access to items (currently enforced by assertions)
  • Add new permission to check if a user is allowed to share a collections to a target
• Filesystem
  • Discover shared collections
  • Allow reading and writing of shared collections
  • Allow deletion of shared collections
  • Cache items that are modified by plugins
  • Interface for sharing (and unsharing) a collections
• Webinterface
  • Mark collections that are shared by other users
  • UI for sharing a collection

@Unrud : would it make sense to continue here?

Potentially this would be a way forward related to #1499
