Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I get notification about upcoming events always twice. Once via my calendar on my mobile device or desktop and once by the Nextcloud app on the corresponding device.

As far as I can see this is a admin setting at the moment:

I see that it makes totally sense for some people who don't add the calendar via caldav to their client. But notifications are something super personal. Admin can suggest defaults (similar how we do it with the activity notifications) but the user should always be able to overwrite it.

Describe the solution you'd like

Either a dedicated personal settings or integrate it into the existing personal "Notification" setting (settings/user/notifications) so that the user can overwrite the default setting from the admin

Research direction

Start at the existing admin setting shown in the issue and the personal notification settings at settings/user/notifications. Trace how the current calendar notification preference is exposed to clients; done means a user can override the admin default and the preference is reflected in client notifications.
