refactor(events): namespace front matter to avoid conflict with Hugo's date

BREAKING CHANGE:

Standardize event metadata by introducing event_start, event_end, event_all_day, and event_name, keep Hugo’s built-in date for publication, and update all layouts/partials/JSON-LD/views to read the new names; demo event content now reflects the renamed params so event listings show their true schedule instead of the page creation date.
