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.
