Document course deadline calendar feeds #28

Description

@alexeygrigorev

The course platform now exposes a per-course iCalendar feed for deadlines:

https://courses.datatalks.club//calendar.ics

We should document how students can use it.

Suggested docs content:

  • Explain that each course has a calendar feed with homework deadlines, project submission deadlines, and project peer review deadlines.
  • Explain that the feed is generated from the current course data, so deadline changes appear when the calendar app refreshes the subscription.
  • Mention that Google Calendar refreshes subscribed calendars on its own schedule, so updates are not instant.
  • Add steps for Google Calendar:
    1. Open Google Calendar.
    2. Go to Other calendars.
    3. Choose From URL.
    4. Paste the course calendar.ics URL.
    5. Add the calendar.
  • Mention that Apple Calendar, Outlook, and other calendar apps can subscribe to the same URL as an iCalendar feed.
  • Add a short example using a real course slug once the target docs page is chosen.
