Summary: calendar._firstweekday is too hard-wired

Initial Comment:
Long-running applications which need to make use of the
'calendar'
module may need to present calendars to different users
using
the users' preferred settings.  Currently, the two
functions which
rely on the locale-specific setting are too inflexible:
 they assume
that the module-level global should always govern.

The attached patch adds defaulted arguments to these
functions,
and uses the module-level global only where the caller
does not
pass in a value.

I do not follow what can be done with your patch that cannot
currently be done with setfirstweekday().

Aarrgh, what is the point of that silly checkbox, anyway?
