Add a calendar name to the ICS, to give Giggity and other clients a conference name. Inspired from https://www.paris-web.fr/2025/conferences-paris-web-2025.ics We could also add a `X-WR-CALDESC`description, but the `X-WR-CALNAME` seems to be the most important one.
It turns out that [RFC7986](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7986#section-5.1) has standardized on ǸAME`.

Thanks, Bo! Would it make sense to include the year in the name? |

I think not, but other conferences are doing it. Maybe we can try without the year.

I was thinking if you have the bornhack ical thing added from 2025, and you then add the new one from 2026, having the same name for both of them would make it difficult to tell them apart (since we have different ical URLs per year)

NAMEhas been chosen as the standard key, in RFC7986. Lets keep both, for backwards compatibility.
