Public bug reported:

As described in RFC 2445:

> When the action is "DISPLAY", the alarm MUST also include a
"DESCRIPTION" property, which contains the text to be displayed when the
alarm is triggered.

The ingest code in engine-eds.cpp is correctly reading the `description'
property to initialize the Alarm struct's 'text' field, but then when it
comes time to display the alarm, it uses Appointment.summary instead.

This appears to be a code leftover from the time before indicator-
datetime added multiple valarm support by separating the Alarm and
Appointment structures.
