Pull request #261 (2023-12-13 17:21:20)

Allow `organiser` to contain comma, ensure that new lines in values don't break output, and various other tweaks (take 2)
Thanks for this great library!

We had a bug where we were providing an organiser where the name included a `,`, and the fix was to wrap the name in quotes. Essentially take the `quoted-string` option for `param-value` in [the spec](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5545.txt)

So the I decided to make the same change to the other `param-value`'s so that they don't have the same issue.

And then I added some logic to encode new lines to`\n` in a lot more places because otherwise it's possible for user input containing new lines to break things

And as I was going through I spotted a few other things so here's a list of all the tweaks/fixes:

- `exclusionDates` was missing in the schema so I don't think it could be used before? Now it can be and I changed it to be an array of date/time entries
- date time entries can now be a single number which is the unix time, which is easy to get from `date.getTime()`, or a string which is then just passed through
- the default values are now built with a fn at runtime as this means the default date will be the invoke time and not the time when the library was loaded, and also means the uuid is unique every time and `assignUniqueId` was no longer needed
- some of the regex patterns in the schema check weren't bounded. I.e. `oopsCANCELLED` would be allowed
- I split up the event into header/event/footer (the second commit). This makes it a bit cleaner when there are no events as don't need to do any string searching anymore. It still supports taking the calendar name etc from the first event object, ~but in the future it might be worth updating the public api to support passing the header fields separately to the event ones, so that then if you are creating a calendar feed where the are no events it's still possible to set the header fields and not get the defaults~
- Added an optional second param to `getEvents` which can take header attributes, so it's possible to still have the correct header attributes even when there are no events
- added `encodeParamValue` which is used to encode `param-value`'s. The spec doesn't appear to say that `"`'s are allowed in the string, but escaping them with `\` does seem to work when I tested in the apple calendar app
