Fix a multi calendar issue when selecting dates

There seems to be a fault in the multi calendar view when adding a simple direct booking manually: If a guest books for two nights, for example, check in on the 1st and check out on the 3rd. Automatically I choose two days blocks from the calendar view: the 1st and the 2nd. This should cover two nights. However, when I go to the next page, it only has one night selected (check in 1st, check out 2nd). When you think about this with common sense, if I want to book one night only, I should only be asked to choose one date block (1st day) and that’s it. If I want to choose two nights, it makes sense to select two date blocks (1st and 2nd). However when choosing two blocks, it only looks to book one night for the guest. We need to manually change the check out date on the following reservation page. This is a small but annoying thing, and has led to issues a few times wheee a staff members chooses two blocks, assuming two nights is selected, and doesn’t look in detail. This is hard to explain but please click on the vote button on the left if you know what I mean!

  I treat it as a "booking" not a "blocking" If I wanted to block the 1st & 2nd, I would click on the 1st & second to block it. If I want to create a booking, I click on the day I want to check in (1st) and check out (3rd). I'm okay with this particular functionality. I agree it's different than how we'd block days, but I wouldn't want to click on the 1st - 3rd to block 2 nights, but it's ingrained to click check in + checkout dates.
