Description
As far as I can tell, this is a feature request as it doesn't currently appear to be possible to filter out event types from upload to a storage.
There exists an item_types directive on caldav storages, but, as far as I can tell, this only filters events that are fetched, but does not stop the sync from attempting to send events of those types created in other storages.
Specifically, it doesn't appear that Fastmail supports VTODO items so I would like to have vdirsyncer avoid trying to sync them from my Xandikos server (otherwise it receives 403s from Fastmail) so that it exits cleanly.

Research direction
The issue names the caldav storage’s item_types directive and the upload/sync path, but no files or tests. Start by tracing how item_types filters fetched events and how items created in another storage are selected for upload. Add coverage for VTODO synchronization from Xandikos to Fastmail, with completion shown by skipped unsupported items and no 403 errors.
