Fix singleton to series conversion with complete RRULE parameter support

- Add new context menu callback for singleton events to avoid series pipeline
- Implement complete RRULE construction with INTERVAL, COUNT, and UNTIL parameters
- Update frontend service methods to pass recurrence parameters correctly
- Add missing recurrence fields to backend UpdateEventRequest model
- Fix parameter ordering in frontend method calls
- Ensure singleton→series conversion uses single event pipeline initially

This resolves issues where converting singleton events to recurring series
would not respect recurrence interval (every N days), count (N occurrences),
or until date parameters.
