Validate silence & silenced_by attributes in Sensu events

[palourde]

Expected Behavior

If I silence a check, it should appear almost immediately as silenced in the events view.

Current Behavior

The check will not be marked as silenced in the Sensu API /events endpoint until Sensu server receives a new check result from the client, which can be confusing especially if the interval for this check is set to a high value.

Possible Solution

Use the /silenced endpoint to validate the silenced & silenced_by attributes in events.
