Marginal Grid/List Calendar: Settings-Icon only for changing view mode

This feature request is a part of the Calendar Revision.

1 Initial Problem

In Marginal Grid/List Calendar of Courses and Groups there are several actions and options in the Settings-Menu. There is no possibility for user to know what's hidding behind the setting icons. 

2 Conceptual Summary

The Setting Icon should be reduced to only offer view changes of enclosed content (Upcoming Events / Month View). 

We reduce the Settings-Dropdown to this two options:

• Month View
• Upcoming Events

This options will be removed from dropdown:

• Add Appointment
• Consultation Hourse for ...

Action "Add Appointment" will be placed in Main Column Calendar View as button in toolbar.

Option "Consultation Hours for ..." will be removed because it's already visible beneath Marginal Grid Calendar (and in Calendar Selection Box, see Course Calendar: Separate Personal and Course Appointments View).

3 User Interface Modifications

3.1 List of Affected Views

Meyer, Stefan [smeyer], 09-01-17: I support this idea.

JourFixe, ILIAS [jourfixe], Jan 09, 2017: We highly appreciate this suggestion and schedule it for 5.3. But we won't remove the 'Add Appointment' action and prefer to keep it in the list but clearly separated from the view toggle or - even better - to offer a button for it under the mini calendar (as there is not enough space in the mini navigation toolbar on top). @ Timon: could you provide a possible solution for option 2?

AT 2016-01-26: We will have a separator to visually divide the Action "Add Appointment" from the two other entries in the drop-down.
