What this PR does

This older version of recurring_ical_events does not call the pytz .normalize() function, which can cause some invalid datetime objects to return when a DST swap happens. For example: Nov 3, 2024 9:00 AM CDT instead of the correct 8:00 AM CST). By calling tz.normalize on the end date and checking if the time zone information changed, we can detect when DST starts/stops and adjust the end date accordingly.

DST stopping on November 3, 2024: DST starting on March 9, 2024

Checklist

  • Unit, integration, and e2e (if applicable) tests updated
  • Documentation added (or pr:no public docs PR label added if not required)
  • Added the relevant release notes label (see labels prefixed w/ release:). These labels dictate how your PR will
    show up in the autogenerated release notes.

By looping through each event and using normalize, the tzinfo might change DST status. We can check for this change in DST status to adjust the end date either forward or backward, depending if DST stopped or started.
