fix: Resolve timezone-based off-by-one bugs in calendar recurrence

Replace format(date, 'yyyy-MM-dd') with formatUTCDateForCalendar(date) in
TaskService.ts and helpers.ts to ensure consistent UTC-based date handling
across different user timezones. This prevents weekly recurring tasks from
appearing on incorrect days (e.g., Tuesday tasks showing on Monday dates).

The fix addresses GitHub issue #237 where calendar recurrence was
timezone-dependent, causing different behavior for users in different
time zones. Added comprehensive test coverage for timezone scenarios
and edge cases to prevent regression.

/**
* Test for Calendar Recurrence Off-by-One Bug (GitHub discussion #237)
*
* This test reproduces the calendar recurrence off-by-one behavior reported in:
* - https://github.com/callumalpass/tasknotes/discussions/237
*
* The bug manifests as:
* - A weekly recurring task set to occur on Tuesdays actually highlights dates on Mondays
* - Example: Dates 21st and 28th (Mondays) are highlighted instead of the expected Tuesdays (22nd and 29th)
*
* The root cause appears to be related to timezone handling in RRule processing or date boundary calculations
* when converting between local time, UTC, and calendar display dates.

/**
* Test for First Day of Week Calendar Display Off-by-One Bug
*
* This investigates whether the off-by-one behavior reported in GitHub discussion #237
* is actually caused by different "first day of week" settings affecting the visual
* layout of the calendar, making it appear as if tasks are showing on the wrong day.
*
* The TaskEditModal uses: firstDaySetting = this.plugin.settings.calendarViewSettings.firstDay || 0
* - 0 = Sunday first (US style)
* - 1 = Monday first (ISO/European style)
*
* If a user expects Monday-first but sees Sunday-first (or vice versa),
* the same logical date could appear to be "shifted" by one position in the grid.

/**
* Test for Off-by-One Completion Date Bug (GitHub discussions #237 and #270)
*
* This test reproduces the off-by-one behavior reported in:
* - https://github.com/callumalpass/tasknotes/discussions/237 (Calendar recurrence shows wrong day)
* - https://github.com/callumalpass/tasknotes/discussions/270#discussioncomment-13885071 (Completion date off by one day)
*
* The bug occurs when:
* 1. TaskService uses `format(date, 'yyyy-MM-dd')` which applies local timezone
* 2. Calendar/UI components use `formatUTCDateForCalendar()` which uses UTC
* 3. This creates inconsistency where completion dates can be off by one day
*
* Specific scenarios:
* - Weekly recurring task set for Tuesday shows Monday highlighted (recurrence bug)
* - Task completed inline shows completion date as previous day (completion bug)
* - Task completed on calendar shows correct date (calendar uses formatUTCDateForCalendar)
* - Different behavior between inline and calendar completion methods

* Test for TaskEditModal Calendar Off-by-One Bug (GitHub discussion #237)
*
* This test specifically targets the calendar widget in the TaskEditModal that shows
* recurring task instances and completion status. The reported bug is:
* - "A weekly recurring task set to occur on Tuesdays actually highlights dates on Mondays"
* - "Dates 21st and 28th (Mondays) are highlighted instead of the expected Tuesdays"
*
* This test simulates the exact calendar rendering logic used in TaskEditModal
* to reproduce the calendar display bug.

/**
* Unified Root Cause Analysis for Both Off-by-One Bugs
*
* This test demonstrates that BOTH reported off-by-one bugs share the same root cause:
* inconsistent use of format(date, 'yyyy-MM-dd') vs formatUTCDateForCalendar(date)
*
* Bug #1 (Completion Date): TaskService.toggleRecurringTaskComplete uses format()
* Bug #2 (Calendar Recurrence): isDueByRRule uses format()
*
* Both should use formatUTCDateForCalendar() for consistency with the rest of the system.
