Title:
  Cread/Read/Update/Delete API for alarms

Status in The Date and Time Indicator:
  Triaged
Status in Calendar application for Ubuntu devices:
  Invalid
Status in “ubuntu-ui-toolkit” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  As described in bug #1361702 we currently require "magic" tags in our
  VTODO events in order to treat clock-app alarms differently from other
  todo events imported from other calendar sources. This special
  treatment has to exist in both indicator-datetime and ubuntu-calendar-
  app.

  In the #ubuntu-app-devel discussion on Sept 24, zsombi, mihir, nik90
  and I agreed that it would make more sense to decouple the alarms from
  EDS altogether.

  Earlier this year there was an aborted attempt to get a public "clean
  C" API for this into platform-API. That could be revived.

  However, since that time the datetime alarm service has become the de-
  facto location for alarms and provides a DBus API for setting alarm
  duration, vibrate mode, default alarm sounds, and the like. The
  general agreement in the #ubuntu-app-devel discussion was that this
  API could be extended with an alarm create/read/update/delete API.

  This latter option should be picked up post-RTM so that we can remove
  the temporary workarounds implemented for bug #1361702.
