Replace page reloads with dynamic calendar refresh functionality

- Add refresh_calendar_data function to replace window.location.reload()
- Implement dynamic event re-fetching without full page refresh
- Add last_updated timestamp to UserInfo to force component re-renders
- Fix WASM compatibility by using js_sys::Date::now() instead of SystemTime
- Remove debug logging from refresh operations
- Maintain same user experience with improved performance
