Refactor: Extract UTC parsing logic to parseUTCDate helper function

- Add parseUTCDate helper function to handle timestamp UTC parsing consistently
- Eliminates code duplication across getTimeAgo, getTimeRemaining, and expiry functions
- Applied to admin.js, app-mapbox.js, app-google.js, and app.js
- Ensures consistent UTC timezone handling throughout all frontend JavaScript
- Addresses Copilot AI feedback for better code maintainability and DRY principles

The parseUTCDate function handles the logic:
timestamp.includes('T') ? timestamp : timestamp + 'Z'

This ensures all timestamp parsing uses the same UTC interpretation logic.
