Tests: add a text identifier to each caldav server entry

Probably not relevant for many, but I do have a tests/conf_private.py
filled up with various servers, so it would be nice to add "friendly"
names to identify them

+* Functional test framework has been refactored - code for setting up and rigging down xandikos/radicale servers have been moved from `tests/test_caldav.py` to `tests/conf.py`.  This allows for:
     * Adding code (including system calls or remote API calls) for Setting up and tearing down calendar servers in `conf_private.py`
     * Creating a local xandikos or radicale server in the `tests.client`-method, which is also used in the `examples`-section.
     * Allows offline testing of my upcoming `check_server_compatibility`-script
+* Also added the possibility to tag test servers with a name
