Events page prerenders now, upcoming, and past events

[edwardshturman]

Since the /events route is prerendered as static content, the delegateEvents function — which determines whether an event is ongoing, is upcoming, or is in the past — is run at build time. What this effectively means is in its current state, we have to push a new deployment for the Events page to be up-to-date.

Desired outcome: the Events page accurately displays the status of events within at most an hour.

Fixes already attempted:

• export const revalidate = 3600
  • For some reason, revalidate appears to be completely ignored
• export const dynamic = 'force-dynamic'
  • This causes every referenced public/ asset to ENOENT. I'm guessing this is due to a discrepancy in the fact /events is server-rendered, but all events themselves are statically generated.
• Refactoring EventList to designateEvents rather than events/page.tsx
  • EventList (Client Component) cannot render Event (Server Component) — results in events/page.tsx error when exporting generateMetadata()
