 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.
