Calendar preview of flood events and Database are not always in sync #202

Problem

Besided the time issue that we discussed earlier on with @lucernae It still seems that some events are not visible on the calendar even though they have been successfully been updated in the Database.

This is the calendar preview calednar

The frontend now behaves for live/current forecast only. For forecast dates greater than today, the calendar now only shows current forecast, which is the forecast made today (acquisition_date today), for the future (forecast_date greater than today).

If your forecast_date is in the future and you want to show it in the calendar, the acquisition_date needs to be today. This is because we don't have drill down mechanism for browsing different forecast in the same date (from previous acquisition_date).

If you want to upload flood event just to check the flood map and summaries, you can upload it into forecast_date in the past, and acquisition_date in the past (so it became historical forecast). For historical forecast, at the moment, we only shows the least lead_time available in the same forecast_date. Again, this is because we don't have drill down mechanism yet for browsing past forecast in the same date.

There is also a bug involved with calculating lead time, related with this issue, but I fixed it recently after discussing it with @NyakudyaA : https://github.com/kartoza/fbf-project/pull/200/files.

So, I think we can close this one.
