Description

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

I like the fact that we can add holiday calendars straight from Nextcloud, provided by Thunderbird.

Those are the choices in Nextcloud right now (about 56):
https://github.com/nextcloud/server/assets/923008/2a6713da-1ac4-40f5-8054-d1808fcbeecd

However Thunderbird.net offers more calendars that that (about 86):
https://github.com/nextcloud/server/assets/923008/64d172ec-228c-457e-ba67-9bd93e16a28d
as can been seen on https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/calendar/holidays/

Describe the solution you'd like
Include all calendars offered by Thunderbird in Nextcloud.
Additionally, if there could be a way to automatically update the list in Nextcloud if Thunderbird adds or change their calendar, that would be useful to avoid differences like that in the future.
