This adds a pre-filter that drops out-of-window non-recurring events from the raw ICS data before `node-ical` parses it. Recurring events and anything we cannot classify cheaply are kept - the existing logic handles those as before. Some calendars accumulate years of old events. Pre-filtering them reduces the amount of work `node-ical` has to do and keeps event loop lag lower. My benchmarks on a fast machine showed a small but measurable speedup (roughly 10-20% with generated test data); on a Raspberry Pi it should be significantly more noticeable. For the implementation I ended up using [`ics-filter`](https://github.com/runely/ics-filter), suggested by @rejas. I had a custom version first, but ICS date string parsing has enough complexity that it makes sense to delegate it to a package built specifically for this. I also contributed a couple of fixes to `ics-filter` along the way, and the maintainer was responsive and open to improvements, so it seems like a good fit. Solves #4103.
