Update user_documentation.rst after some setup experiences with different clients.

Browse source 
I have found that using the endings .vcf and .ics in the address book and calendar file names has been crucial for successful setup. This might be a bug with Radicale or with the clients I tried.
Unfortunately I did not get Evolution to work with radicale :(

You can add a address book analogously to the above instructions, just choose
CardDav and http://myserver:5232/Username/AddressBook.vcf in step 10 and 11.
Also, if you already have a calendar set up you can add an address book to its
"DAV groupware resource" under Configure-Kontact -> Calendar -> General ->
Calendars -> Modify. This way you don't have to enter username and password
twice.
CalDAV-Sync
~~~~~~~~~~~
CalDAV-Sync is implemented as sync adapter to integrate seamlessly with
any calendar app and widget. Therefor you have to access it via
any calendar app and widget. Therefore you have to access it via
``Accounts & Sync`` settings after installing it from the Market.
So, to add new calendars to your phone open ``Accounts & Sync`` settings
and tap on ``Add account``, selecting CalDAV as type. In the next view,
you have to switch to Manual Mode. Enter the full CalDAV URL of your Radicale
account (e.g. http://example.com:5232/Username/) and corresponding login data.
If you want to create a new calendar you have to specify its full URL e.g.
http://example.com:5232/Username/Calendar.ics/ .
Tap on ``Next`` and the app checks for all available calendars
on your account, listing them in the next view. You can now select calendars
on your account, listing them in the next view. (Note: CalDAV-Sync will not
only check under the url you entered but also under
http://example.com:5232/UsernameYouEnteredForLogin/. This might cause strange
errors.) You can now select calendars
you want to sync and set a local nickname and color for each. Hitting ``Next``
again brings up the last page. Enter your email address and uncheck ``Sync
from server to phone only`` if you want to use two-way-sync.
