Test procedure in "Trash Night Reminder" won't work reliably #969

Description

@Didgeridrew

The "Test It" section instructs the user to:

Open the Calendar view and add a new event on the Trash calendar starting one minute from now and ending two minutes from now.

Calendar trigger listeners are only updated on a 15 minute interval, so the automation will not fire for most people if they do that. From the docs:

There are workarounds. The better order of operations would be to have the user set the calendar event first, then create the automation, since creating the automation will update the listener... but the timing could be an issue for new users.

    Good catch on the 15-minute refresh, @Didgeridrew. We dropped the Test it section in #974 rather than document the re-save workaround.
