Description

I would like to be able to see what the recurrence is for a recurring meeting, particularly on import. As the event display is controlled by a --format or equivalent configuration, I would propose having a {repeat} or {repeat-details} format option, even if that means it is just a dump of the "raw" RRULE as the first pass.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Add a new format placeholder like {repeat} in khal's event formatting code. Look at how existing placeholders are parsed and rendered in the `khal/calendar display.py` or similar files. The RRULE property can be extracted from the VTODO or VEVENT component using the icalendar library, and then formatted as a string. Modify the format function to expand the placeholder with the recurrence rule text.
