document the state of the calendars in one place

docs/calendars.md: the three independent questions a reckoning answers, how
the 1923 split came about and the three changes since that catch out a printed
reference, which churches keep what, and where the line falls between the
Byzantine rite and the nine Eastern Catholic churches that do not use it.

The README and --list lose the prose that had grown around the same subject.
