Description

Event API sends WordCamp and Meetup data with date/time lacking time zone information (see ​https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4480 )

The current implementation of filtering for upcoming events tries to parse that into timestamps (which doesn't really work) and determine upcoming events by comparing against "WP timestamp" summed with time zone offset (which isn't really appropriate for the task, or ever).

Patch simplifies the logic to date comparison and removes reliance on WP timestamp.

In 45886:

Date/Time: Simplify the date comparing logic in WP_Community_Events::trim_events().

The Events API returns event date without timezone information, so trying to parse it into a timestamp and compare to a WP timestamp is pointless.

Props Rarst.
Fixes #47463.
