Fix Vespers status wrongly saying "Second Vespers" when a Sunday anticipates it

getVespersStatusLabel detected First-Vespers anticipation only via
winner.vespersFrom, a tag only ever set for a sanctoral tomorrow-winner
(tagVespersFrom). When Vespers anticipates a Sunday that wins its own
day outright (a temporal winner, e.g. 2026-08-29 anticipating 2026-08-30
since the Decollation of St. John Baptist is below the duplex-2-classis
floor that would let it keep its own evening), the tag never gets set
and the status wrongly read "Second Vespers (of today)" even though the
whole page was showing tomorrow's identity.

Comparing the resolved day's date against the originally-requested date
detects anticipation uniformly regardless of winner kind, so this drops
the vespersFrom dependency entirely.
