fix: all-day ICS events displaying on wrong day and appearing twice (#854, #695)

Browse source 
Store all-day ICS events as date-only strings (YYYY-MM-DD) instead of UTC
timestamps to preserve calendar date semantics across all timezones.

Changes:
- ICSSubscriptionService: Return date-only strings for all-day events
- AgendaView: Parse date-only strings as local midnight for filtering
- ICSEventInfoModal: Handle date-only format when displaying dates
- ICSNoteCreationModal: Handle date-only format when displaying dates
- ICSEventContextMenu: Handle date-only format when displaying dates
- ICSNoteService: Handle date-only format in all date operations
- Remove broken test file with mock issues

Fixes #854: All-day events now display on correct calendar date in all
timezones (previously showed one day earlier in PST, EST, etc.)

Fixes #695: All-day events no longer appear twice in Agenda view due to
timezone conversion issues

The fix maintains compatibility with FullCalendar and follows iCalendar
RFC 5545 semantics for VALUE=DATE events.

-->
## Fixed
- (#854) (#695) Fixed all-day ICS calendar events displaying on wrong day and appearing twice
- All-day events now stored as date-only strings (YYYY-MM-DD) instead of UTC timestamps
- Events display on correct calendar date regardless of user timezone (fixes issue in PST, EST, and other negative UTC offset timezones)
- All-day events no longer appear twice in Agenda view
- Updated all date parsing throughout the codebase to handle date-only format correctly
- Maintains compatibility with FullCalendar and preserves iCalendar RFC 5545 semantics for VALUE=DATE events
- Thanks to @needo37 for reporting #854 and @realJohnDoe for reporting #695
