SUMMARY
I just had to set up a new DAV calendar resource and discovered a bug in the
process (#508543). But that bug only occurred to me because of the following
behaviour, which IMHO is wrong.

I noticed that my new resource, which I set up using the manual setup, is
called „Citadel“. I didn’t give it that name, but the word rang a bell. So I
checked and confirmed:

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the dialog to add a new DAV Groupware resource
2. Opt to set it up manually

OBSERVED RESULT
The display name is pre-filled with the type of resource that was last selected
in the Server type dropdown. If it is pre-filled, one tends to overlook it,
which causes the resource to get a wrong name, so it needs a correction later.

EXPECTED RESULT
I think it is better to leave the name field empty. The dialog cannot be
submitted with an empty name field, so the user is reminded to fill it out.
