fix(dav): repair CalDAV/CardDAV client connectivity (#480)

Standard CalDAV/CardDAV clients (Thunderbird, DAVx5, Apple
Calendar/Contacts) failed to connect, mounted collections read-only, or
could not discover address books, even though curl worked. Three
protocol-compliance gaps caused this:

1. Missing Basic-auth challenge on /caldav and /carddav.
   The 401 returned for these surfaces carried no `WWW-Authenticate`
   header (only /webdav did). Spec-compliant clients never send
   credentials preemptively the way `curl -u` does — they wait for the
   challenge — so Thunderbird never authenticated and failed with
   "discovery failed" / 401. Extend the challenge to all DAV surfaces via
   shared `is_dav_path` / `dav_basic_auth_challenge` helpers.

2. Calendars always advertised read-only.
   The `current-user-privilege-set` write gate compared `owner_id`
   against the literal string "current_user_id", which never matched a
   real UUID, so `<D:write/>` was never emitted and clients mounted every
   calendar read-only. Thread the caller's id through the CalDAV adapter
   and grant write when the caller owns the calendar.

3. CardDAV discovery was incomplete.
   There was no `/.well-known/carddav` route and the root PROPFIND
   exposed neither `current-user-principal` nor `addressbook-home-set`,
   so clients could not locate address books. Add the well-known redirect
   and root/principal discovery responses mirroring the CalDAV adapter.

Adds unit tests for the auth challenge predicate, the calendar
owner/non-owner privilege split, and the CardDAV root/principal discovery
responses.
