refactor(task): centralize Taskwarrior date format as task.DateFormat

DRY/MEDIUM task (UUID 2c74960f): the format string "20060102T150405Z" was
hardcoded in 5+ places across the task and ui packages.

- Export task.DateFormat constant from internal/task/task.go
- Replace hardcoded string in task.go and stats.go with DateFormat
- Update internal/ui/helpers.go to alias the constant (taskDateFormat =
  task.DateFormat) rather than repeating the string literal
- Replace all 6 raw string literals in table.go with task.DateFormat
- Remove duplicate dueText() from table.go; its only call site now uses
  formatDueText() from helpers.go, which also normalises to midnight UTC
  for more accurate day-difference calculations
