Open-event-server: Ticket Email: Create a better Text Email for confirmed ticket orders

[mariobehling]

We need a better ticket email. An HTML email would require a number of changes, but we can already create a better text email to improve things in the first step. An Email sample below.

Questions:

• What if the user bought several tickets, what link do we provide?
• Would it be possible to create a link string to provide the option "Add to my calendar", e.g. Google, Outlook, iCal
