Change to GraphQL api endpoint BirthdayCometRootQuery

 This change was unannounced and no reason was ever released.  
 
 fb2cal is a tool which restores this functionality.

+It works by calling endpoints that power the https://www.facebook.com/events/birthdays/ page.  
 After gathering a list of birthdays for all the users friends for a full year, it creates a ICS calendar file. This ICS file can then be imported into third party tools (such as Google Calendar).
 
-This tool **does not** use the Facebook API.

 ## Caveats
 * Facebook accounts secured with 2FA are currently not supported (see [#9](../../issues/9))
 * During Facebook authentication, a security checkpoint may trigger that will force you to change your Facebook password.
-* Some locales are currently not supported (see [#13](../../issues/13))
-* Some supported locales may fail. Consider changing your Facebook language to English temporarily as a workaround. (see [#52](../../issues/52))
-* Duplicate birthday events may appear if calendar is reimported after Facebook friends change their username due to performance optimizations. (see [#65](../../pull/65))
