Query Google Calendar free/busy status for multiple users to find a meeting slot.

## Steps

1. Query free/busy: `gws calendar freebusy query --json '{"timeMin": "2024-03-18T08:00:00Z", "timeMax": "2024-03-18T18:00:00Z", "items": [{"id": "user1@company.com"}, {"id": "user2@company.com"}]}'`
2. Review the output to find overlapping free slots
3. Create event in the free slot: `gws calendar +insert --summary 'Meeting' --attendee user1@company.com --attendee user2@company.com --start '2024-03-18T14:00:00' --end '2024-03-18T14:30:00'`
