Wait for HA to list a new event before reporting it created

Home Assistant confirms calendar/event/create before its entity's event list
reflects it. Both clients already force a refetch after saving and the server
caches nothing, so the refetch simply lost the race: the event was created but
invisible until the next manual reload. Users read that as a failure, retry,
and end up with a duplicate.

Fixed once here rather than having web, iOS and Android each guess a delay.
Bounded at two seconds and silent on failure — the event exists either way, so
a slow Home Assistant must not turn a successful create into an error.
