Issues with 2.4.17-beta9 & beta10 on OSX

[Ken Murchison]

Hi Marty,

The sanity check of the vCard properties is done in store_resource() in 
http_carddav.c

I also recently committed a logic error that was preventing vCards to be 
updated with the BusyContacts client which may have been effecting other 
clients as well.
