Connor Johnstone 7538054b20 Refactor update_entire_series to use consistent clone-and-modify pattern
Aligns update_entire_series with the same metadata preservation approach
used in this_only and this_and_future update methods.

## Key Changes:

1. **Clone-and-Modify Pattern**:
   - Clone existing event to preserve all metadata (organizer, attendees, etc.)
   - Only modify specific properties that need to change
   - Maintains consistency with other update methods

2. **Smart Field Handling**:
   - Preserve original values when request fields are empty
   - Only overwrite when new values are explicitly provided
   - Same selective update logic as other scopes

3. **RRULE Preservation**:
   - Keep existing recurrence pattern unchanged for simple updates
   - Suitable for drag operations that just change start/end times
   - Avoids breaking complex RRULE patterns unnecessarily

4. **Proper Timestamp Management**:
   - Update dtstamp and last_modified to current time
   - Preserve original created timestamp for event history
   - Consistent timestamp handling across all update types

## Benefits:
- All three update scopes now follow the same metadata preservation pattern
- Simple time changes (drag operations) work without side effects
- Complex event properties maintained across all modification types
- Better RFC 5545 compliance through proper event structure preservation

## Removed:
- Complex RRULE regeneration logic (build_series_rrule function now unused)
- Manual field-by-field assignment replaced with selective clone modification

This ensures consistent behavior whether users modify single occurrences,
future events, or entire series - all maintain original event metadata.
