[IMP] general: outlook_calendar.rst (#803)

Browse Source 
When synchronizing Outlook's Calendar with Odoo for the first time, if Odoo Calendar has events with attendees created, Outlook will "recreate" these events and send a reminder as well. Meaning that attendees receive duplicated reminders (from Odoo and Outlook).
Therefore, a couple of workarounds were found (in Odoo Calendar) and added as a note in the doc.

Sync with Outlook
=================
.. important::
| Odoo Calendar sends a confirmation email at the creation of an event to its attendees. But, on
the **first** sync, Outlook will also send confirmation emails of all scheduled events
(including past ones).
| To avoid this situation, we recommend *archiving all past events, and removing yourself from
future ones in Odoo Calendar before the first sync*. This will prevent events from being
created in Outlook, and therefore, no redundant emails will be sent during the first
synchronization. After the sync, events will only send one confirmation email.
