Design team testing with GNOME continuous, complained about week numbers
being shown in big dark squares. According to them, these wreck the
layout of the view.
Design team listed the issues, comparing to gnome-shell calendar as:
* The containing boxes are larger in Calendar.
* The background of the boxes has more contrast with the background (it
should be a lot lighter in Calendar).
* Week numbers are an option in the shell, and are off by default.
This patches fixes the two first items: week numbers box' size and
color. Option to set on/off week numbers will be implemented in a future
patch.

Week numbers in year view was using a small and very light style and
that was making difficult for users to be able to read it.
After a few conversation with gnome-design team, they proposed the best
approach it would be to use the same style as gnome-shell panel does.
The week numbers style was changed to be as close as possible to the
gnome-shell panel.

Year view didn't have hints for days with events and this feature was
requested to be added to gnome-calendar.
This is an old request but in the past gnome-design team though it would
be better to keep the layout simple without hints for days with events.
Now with the changes in gnome-shell calendar and in order to keep them
in sync, this feature was added to gnome-calendar.
In order to implement this code we had to add a few css styles and a
code to add a small circle below everyday with events. Although
gnome-shell calendar uses an svg image with a 3x3 dot, we chose to use a
pango function to draw the dot.

This is a significant rewrite of the calendar popover. Instead of adding actions to the window, it uses a internal map to find the corresponding source.
Size requisition previously add margin to the size requested. Margin
should be taken into account outside of the widget. Moving margin to the
container and use border, which previously was not used.
There's a bunch of stuff missing here, but this code is already working.
This includes only part of the drawing code, I already take into account
here LTR and RTL languages.
Here month-view make use of classes for styling different regions of the
grid, there are:
1. header class, which is used for the font and color details of the
days naming on the top of the grid
2. current class, which is used for drawing the current day number and
its background
3. lines class: which set the color property of the lines in the grid
4. :selected pseudo-class is used for drawing the font on the days
marked when creating an event. This will work as well for keyboard
navigation
What's missing here:
1. properly update click/press marks to new model
2. draw border around the selected days
There are some other changes:
1. Renamed widget class to "event-widget" to avoid collisions
2. Added contrasting event title coloring
3. Use gtk_render functions
