Fix all-day event date display bug: events created 9/4-9/6 now show correctly instead of 9/3-9/5

- Backend: Store all-day events at noon UTC instead of midnight to avoid timezone boundary issues
- Backend: Remove local timezone conversion for all-day events in series handler
- Frontend: Skip timezone conversion when extracting dates from all-day events for display
- Frontend: Extract dates directly from UTC for all-day events in event_spans_date function

The issue was that timezone conversion of UTC midnight could shift dates backward in western timezones.
Now all-day events use noon UTC storage and pure date extraction without timezone conversion.
