[TYPO3-calendar] new category handling

[Bart Gijswijt]

Hi Mario,

I have checked and in my case there is no difference between 'exact 
match' and 'any'; in both cases items show up that have one of the 
categories assigned. So the strict handling of categories does not seem 
to work (which is fine by me but probably not as intended).

Best regards,
Bart
