chore: simplify counting, severity, IoU, and filter helpers without behavior change

Inline _query_param_filters into alert_filters (helper was called in exactly
one place). Tighten serialize() to use isinstance(value, (datetime, date))
instead of duck-typing hasattr(value, "isoformat"); behavior is identical for
all psycopg2-returned types. Add date to the datetime import accordingly.

Static equivalence verified for all filter combinations and all DB-returned
types including datetime, date, int, str, bool, Decimal, timedelta, and None.
