fix: update date parsing in TestValleyBoroughCouncil

[geekball]

fix: Test Valley appear to have updated the date format to no longer include nd, th, rd, etc in the collection dates. This caused the date parser to strip letters out of the day of the week and subsequently fail to parse the date. Commented out regex substitution which now allows dates to correctly parse.

Fixes #2194

Add a regression test for suffix-free dates.

Cover _parse_date with input such as Sunday 12 August. Also verify that parse_data emits collectionDate in DD/MM/YYYY format. This protects the Test Valley format change and prevents the previous weekday corruption from returning.

Thanks for tracking this down — verified live and the diagnosis is spot on: Test Valley's dates are now "Saturday 5 September" with no ordinal suffix at all.

Folded this into the September release batch (PR #2220) with two small tweaks: deleted the dead regex line outright instead of commenting it out, and dropped the now-unused import re. The two failing CI checks here were just commitlint tripping on the commit subject ending in "etc." — not a code issue, so nothing to fix on your end there.

Closing this in favor of #2220, which carries the fix forward with attribution. Thanks for the contribution!
