Fix external calendar creation and Outlook compatibility issues

- Fix external calendar form validation by replacing node refs with controlled state inputs
- Add multiple user-agent fallback approach for better external calendar compatibility
- Enhance HTTP client configuration with proper redirect handling and timeouts
- Add detailed error logging and Outlook-specific error detection
- Improve request headers for better calendar server compatibility
