Currently when creating new birthday event we can input the exact day of the event. But that's not enough I think. I've been used to software that allows user to input birth's date. For example: let's say that John was born on 1st July 1980. When creating new birthday event, we simply put this day and the calendar should know that it's occuring on 1st July every year, because it's birthday.
Furthermore, this way we could also make the calendar display something like "Hey, John is 29 today, happy birthday!" because we would know the birth year and calculate his age.

Reproducible: Always

There's no version for lighting 1.0 yet but I suggest setting this to won't fix.
