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.
