Add day, week and year view mode

Feature

The Calendar is such a good application and I understand the minimalist philosophy behind it but when we use it there's no options for different views such as: day, week or year. If I have a lot of events in a day, for example, I only can see them in a month view, so I can't access my daily schedule. Once again, I understand the minimalist philosophy behind it, but I think to add this feature could help users in their daily tasks. And furthermore, I know we have already the column on the right side that allows a view of my daily schedule and my week, but I think it isn't enough for some users in terms of productivity and accessibility. It'd be nicer on a entire new view mode like Gnome Calendar does.

+1 from me for a weekly view. Also this is related to the various "zoom levels" discussed here: https://github.com/elementary/calendar/issues/19

Update for clarification: Talking about adding a new view showing a whole "Week" - like the one of macOS Calendar.

@tintou any chance we can somehow reuse the available views of gnome-calendar such as gcal-week-view? Or do we really need to rebuild the whole week view from scratch?

@marbetschar too bad you had to stop working on this! This is the only issue preventing me to use this calendar as my main app for scheduling.

Do we have any update around this new feature? I think this could be an awesome improvement for the EOS calendar ! Thanks for your effort guys! :taco:

I propose the interaction method of clicking the month and year buttons in the headerbar to show their view: A complimentary method could be zooming in and out, on a touchpad or with mousewheel. Zooming in and out would move between the different levels with month being the highest then week and then day view. Proposed views - WIP (will add in an edit when done)
