fix: detect iCloud all-day events and bypass cache on manual refresh

- Apple calendar parser now checks ICAL.js isDate flag and emits
  date-only strings (YYYY-MM-DD) for all-day events instead of
  full ISO datetime — fixes all-day detection in the frontend
- Calendar events mapper routes date-only Apple events to the
  date field instead of always using dateTime
- Manual refresh button now sends forceRefresh=true which makes
  the sync endpoint wait for live data instead of returning stale cache
- Automatic background syncs still use fire-and-forget for performance
