Disable Event Handlers During Downtime

[sawolf]

From this forum thread, customer would like to be able to disable event handlers during downtime. I don't think we should change the default behavior here, but adding a host/service option that disables event handlers during downtime seems appropriate.

This is not a good idea...
This change would then stop all "on-state-change" event handlers from being executed during a downtime window.
The handler should be executed when any host or object changes state i.e. global event handlers.

You account for this possibility by adding a step to check the for a downtime depth greater than 0 to your event handler which is meant to operate outside notifications.

$SERVICEDOWNTIME$
$HOSTDOWNTIME$

Are the nagios macros that you'll want to pass as variables to evaluate in your handler.
