Reverting R490:abfdd65f0c85: Use URLs in multiget requests as returned by the Server for Kolab users

[Daniel Vrátil]

Hi,

coincidentally, I've recently looked into this a little, trying to see what 
the RFC says and other DAV clients do....

I slightly changed the patch from the Phabricator review and with the changes 
applied it worked fine for Nextcloud, Mailbox.org and Gmail DAV and even with a 
recent version of Kolab/iRony.

Knowing that KDAB uses a rather ancient version of Kolab and that the issue 
has been fixed in a newer version of Kolab, I'd agree that we should rather 
make it possible for our users to sync with all kinds of modern services and 
applications and call the old version of Kolab unsupported - I know it will 
break calendar access for kdabians, but then again, you guys are the only ones 
with access to this ancient version, so you will have to figure out some way to 
make the code work for this version, too, without breaking compatibility for 
everyone else...

/Dan
