Open-event-droidgen: Delegate Date string formatting to a single DateUtil class

[iamareebjamal]

Actual Behaviour

Currently, we are manually parsing dates in various sections of app, where some ignore timezone and some use another mechanism to parse it.

Expected Behaviour

For an event-based application, it is trivial to do correct and standard date conversions so it must happen in a single tested class which correctly handles all edge cases and TZ information correctly

Would you like to work on the issue?

Yes, but if anyone else is interested, he/she may take it up

@arp95 The current date handling is very erroneous and repetitive. I am rewriting the date class, so you can hold the test writing for now. Sorry for the inconvenience
