feat: add old snap warning for snaps not updated in 2+ years

- Add is_snap_old() function to detect snaps older than 2 years
- Add convert_date_month_year() for cleaner date formatting
- Display warning notification on snap details for old snaps
- Use simple "Month Year" format for better readability
- Add custom styling with orange left border for consistency
- Include comprehensive test coverage for date logic
- Message: "This snap in this channel hasn't been updated since [Month Year]. Contact the developer to ask for an update."

Fixes #2988
