Description
We can request that google sends us webhook updates about specific calendar events.
https://developers.google.com/calendar/api/v3/reference/events/watch
If we use import instead of insert (https://github.com/thunderbird/appointment/issues/341) we might want to watch for deletion events and notify the user.
For CalDav we'll need to manually poll on regular intervals to check for this.

Research direction
Start by reading the Google Calendar events.watch documentation and the related issue #341, then inspect how created events are imported or inserted. Define how Google webhook updates and CalDav polling should detect deletions and notify users; done should cover the intended behavior for both calendar providers.
