Improve defaults: 2-hour modeline window, notify at event time
Bump chime-modeline-lookahead-minutes from 60 to 120 so events
within the next 2 hours show in the modeline. The old 60-minute
default hid events most users would expect to see.
Add (0 . high) to default chime-alert-intervals so users get a
notification at event time in addition to 10 minutes before.
The single-notification default meant a missed alert had no backup.
