authentication: always use UTF-8 instead of ISO-8859-1 for Basic credentials to implement RFC 7617
event sync: don't set event classification (CLASS:PRIVATE) when "privacy" is "default"
contact sync: remove "disable RFC 6868" option (RFC 6868 is now always enabled)
task sync: ignore invalid DUE values which are before DTSTART
minor bug fixes and improvements (including internal refactoring, Android JUnit4 tests and Gitlab CI)

The new UTF-8 encoding for authentication allows you to use passwords with non-ASCII special characters (Umlauts etc.) with several servers/services, including

Nextcloud,
OwnCloud,
MyKolab,
Fruux, and
GMX.

Posteo: the "disable RFC 6868" account setting is not needed anymore.
