Yet another person who has noticed this.  Highlighting the current date
is rather handy for interactive use.

The basis of #904839 is incorrect.  Without that change `cal` uses
isatty() to determine whether output is a terminal.  If not a terminal,
highlighting is disabled (compare `ncal -b` and `ncal -b | cat`).  As
such, if the reporter for #904839 really was attempting to parse the
output, that wouldn't have been effected by highlighting.

There was only a single reporter for #904839 (after the feature had been
in place for 5 years), there are now 5 complaints after it has been
absent for less than a year.  That seems like rather overwhelming support
for keeping highlighting.
