fix: event creation and update property name mismatch

[rotarymars]

This PR fixes issue #160 where event creation and updates were failing due to a mismatch between frontend property names and backend API expectations.

Changes:

• Switched from snake_case (event_date, event_time) to camelCase (eventDate, eventTime) in EventFormRequest types and frontend request payloads.
• This aligns the frontend with the backend API (src/app/api/events/route.ts and src/app/api/events/[id]/route.ts).

Closes #160

Summary by CodeRabbit
