Docs should explain IslamicObservational #6210

Description

@hsivonen

Currently https://unicode-org.github.io/icu4x/rustdoc/icu_calendar/cal/struct.IslamicObservational.html says is "Islamic Observational Calendar (Default)".

The docs should explain at least:

  • That "observational" means an astronomical simulation of moon observability from a reference location on Earth.
  • That the reference location is Cairo and why it is Cairo. (The code comment points to Reingold's code, which says Cairo is a "sample location".)
  • Why this is "(Default)".
  • What use cases this variant is for relative to the other three variants.
