fix(jobbank-search): degrade an unparseable pubDate to a null date instead of crashing the search (#416) (#417)

new Date(<unparseable>) yields an Invalid Date whose toISOString()
throws RangeError, and normalizeSearchItem runs inside an unguarded
items.map(), so one malformed RSS item killed the entire search with
{"error": "Invalid Date", "code": "API_ERROR"} and exit 1. The
un-CDATA'd fallback capture in parseRssItems can deliver exactly such a
value. An unparseable pubDate now degrades to the same shape as an
absent one (posted "", date null); every other item survives. Three
new cases pin the malformed shapes, each failing on the unfixed code.
