feat: support optional start/end time on events

event_start_date / event_end_date now accept either YYYY-MM-DD (date-only)
or YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM (ISO datetime). The NIP-52 publisher switches kind
on the "T" delimiter: kind 31922 (date-based, YYYY-MM-DD start/end) when
absent, kind 31923 (time-based, unix-timestamp start/end + day-granularity
D tags) when present. Delete events match the original publish kind.

Closing-date parsing accepts both formats. The LNbits admin form gains
optional HH:MM inputs alongside each date picker; they fold into the
wire-format string on submit and split back on edit.
