Recurring Dates Generator

This release adds the ability to generate multiple dates for a single event based on a recurring schedule:

After filling out the form, use the "Generate dates" button to dynamically create each date occurrence. You can then manually edit or remove individual instances as needed, or even add new ones. This allows great flexibility for some dates which may not align with the recurring schedule.

To make multiple dates easier to manage, we also made changes to the dates widget. When editing an event that has multiple dates specified, they will now be presented in a collapsed state, with buttons to edit or remove each occurrence:

This change makes it much easier to see all the dates at once and remove those that are no longer needed.
