refactor(EventUpsert): delegate to DM core upsert-post ability

[chubes4]

Summary

Refactors EventUpsert to delegate the create/update/no_change decision to DM core's datamachine/upsert-post ability (shipped in data-machine#1167 / v0.77.0).

What changed

• Removed: createEventPost(), updateEventPost(), hasDataChanged() — replaced by single call to datamachine/upsert-post
• Added: buildEventMetaInput() — extracts submission metadata for core upsert
• Modified: buildEventData() — accepts optional $existing_post_id for datetime hydration on update path
• Modified: executeUpsertWithinLock() — domain-specific identity resolution → core upsert → post-upsert event processing

What stayed (domain-specific)

• Fuzzy identity resolution (findExistingEventViaAbility, findExistingEvent, all find* helpers)
• Advisory locks by (date, normalized_title)
• Venue/promoter taxonomy assignment with smart merging
• Featured image processing
• Block content generation (generate_event_block_content)
• Submission metadata handling

Size

EventUpsert.php: 1,701 → 1,579 lines (-122)

Depends on

• feat: generic idempotent upsert primitive + ResolvePostByPath helper data-machine#1167 (merged in v0.77.0)
• Extra-Chill/data-machine#XXX (post_author support for upsert-post — adds post_author param to core ability)

Closes

• Refactor EventUpsert to use DM core UpsertPostAbility #208
