Description
I'd like to suggest a new feature:
When working with downloadable calendar files, it would be enormous ease if there was no need for a [calendar] section in the config file, if one could simply tell khal which local calendar file is to use.
Right now, you have to download the remote file and copy it to a place and name that is already defined in the config file. That copying could become unnecessary by something like
khal --localfile /path/to/calendar.ics ...

Research direction
Start by locating khal's command-line argument handling and the [calendar] configuration loading path. Check how a local .ics path could be accepted for a command, then verify that khal can use --localfile /path/to/calendar.ics without requiring that config section.
