Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently the only way to view contacts from external address books is to import the address book into Nextcloud.
Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to see an option to 'subscribe' to an external WebDAV address book
Describe alternatives you've considered
This would prevent users from having to have duplicate address books - like one on their email provider and one in Nextcloud.

Research direction
The payload names no implementation files or tests. Start by reviewing the existing address-book import path and related Nextcloud server issue #252; define how an external WebDAV subscription is configured, fetched, refreshed, and exposed without duplication. Done means users can view an external address book through a subscription and the behavior is covered by relevant tests.
