    calendar: don't setlogin(2) in the -a user handlers
    
    As of e67975d331 ("Fix 'calendar -a' in several ways."), `calendar -a`
    will now fork off a new process for each user and do all of its own
    processing in the user's own context.
    
    As a side-effect, calendar(1) started calling setlogin(2) in each of the
    forked processes and inadvertently hijacked the login name for the
    session it was running under, which was typically not a fresh session
    but rather that of whatever cron/periodic run spawned it.  Thus, daily
    and security e-mails started coming from completely arbitrary user.
    
    We could create a new session, but it appears that nothing calendar(1)
    does really needs the login name to be clobbered; opt to just avoid the
    setlogin(2) call entirely rather than incur the overhead of a new
    session for each process.
