feat: migrate to church-core crate for maximum code simplification

Major improvements leveraging the shared church-core library:

- **Replace custom Event struct**: Now using church-core::Event directly
  with built-in helper methods (formatted_date, clean_description, etc.)
- **Remove duplicate HTML cleaning**: Using church-core's clean_description()
- **Simplify API integration**: Replace custom ApiClient with church-core's
  ChurchApiClient and standardized endpoints
- **Remove redundant dependencies**: html2text, chrono no longer needed
- **Clean up configuration**: Remove unused cache settings, church-core handles caching
- **Streamline image loading**: Remove redundant HEAD requests, keep essential validation

Result: 37+ lines of duplicate code removed, 2 dependencies eliminated,
zero functionality lost. Project now maximizes church-core capabilities
while maintaining all original features.

Fixes: Eliminates code duplication and maintenance overhead
