Original title: Ampersand is not handled correctly from content title

If there is ampersand symbol present in the title of the event it gets converted to &
If you add this event to calendar it do not convert the & back to ampersand symbol.

I am sure that Drupal's check_plain function is used for security purpose, but we need to address this issue anyhow.

Note: check_plain function is used twice on the title (Present in "addtocal_download_ics" & "addtocal_extract_event_info" functions) which converts ampersand to &

Title: Ampersand is not handled correctly from content title » Ampersand and other HTML entities are double escaped in title and description

This is happening in the description field as well. I didn't test the location field, but I'm guessing it's affected as well.
