Gnome Calendar does not save reminders on events

[Alexis Dinno]

[ Impact ]

After upgrading to Ubuntu 24.04.1 and Gnome 46 the Gnome Calendar app no longer allows creating or modifying the reminder settings of an event.

[ Test Plan ]

1. Create a new event in Gnome Calendar
2. Click Add Reminder, and select your preferred alarm interval.
3. Click Save.
4. Click on the event.
5. Click Edit...
6. Verify that the reminder you set is listed.

[ Where problems could occur ]

The scope of the change is limited to the Calendar app.
The changes only modify the event-editor GUI and do not interfere with pre-existing events and reminders.
If the new logic misbehaves, you might experience problems or crashes when adding/modifying events.

I'm able to reproduce the bug in 24.04.1
It appears to be already fixed in GNOME 47 because I cannot reproduce in 24.10
