Previously, the upcoming-events sidebar block and the category events calendar i…gnored a category's "subcategories"/"no subcategories" filter — the block was locked to a static per-site parameter, and the calendar always included subcategory events. This change derives subcategory inclusion from the current category route (matching core's `includeSubcategories === !noSubcategories`), so both surfaces show exactly the events the list's filter implies.
