Description
Currently, the repeat rule (RRULE) only allows basic recurrence:
-r, –repeat=RRULE specify if and how this event should be recurring.
Valid values for RRULE are daily, weekly, monthly and yearly
Khal should allow complex rulesets like i.e. every last friday or every week on Mon, Thu and Fri.
I know this by itself is a complex feature request but I need it badly to migrate to khal for my day to day calendar.

No files or tests are named. Start by locating khal's repeat-rule (RRULE) handling, then review how recurrence values are parsed and represented; done means supporting rules such as the last Friday and weekly Monday/Thursday/Friday cases with regression coverage.
