Description

I'd appreciate a khal sync command that triggers a configured sync process (e.g. vdirsyncer sync) and an option to configure an autosync after adding or editing events.

Research direction
The issue requests a `khal sync` command that triggers vdirsyncer sync and an autosync option. First, examine how khal currently handles external commands, e.g., in `khal/commands.py` or similar. Then, research how vdirsyncer is invoked from the command line and consider adding a configuration option in khal's config file (e.g., `khal.conf`). There are no linked PRs; this is a feature request without specific implementation details, so maintainer input may be needed for design decisions.
