Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
With builtin calendar i would like to create just task list. Currently i can create calendar or calendar + task list but not task list only.
This leads that my todo calendars are visible in 3rd party software - when i just need reminders.
Describe the solution you'd like
Allow user to create calendar, task list or calendar + task list.
Additional context
Same problem was reported in https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/8625, but it was closed without resolution.
Workaround
As a admin, you can change calendar type directly in DB - but its not very user friendly :)
select id,displayname,principaluri,components from oc_calendars;
update oc_calendars set components='VTODO' where id in (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

Research direction
Start by tracing the calendar-creation path and how the oc_calendars components value is assigned. Check how calendar and task-list types are represented, then verify that creating each requested type produces the expected VTODO or calendar components without exposing task lists as regular calendars.
