System Notification Events showing as disabled after adding a notification

[patrickmann]

Expected Behavior

The event definition for System Notification Events should always be enabled.
Adding/removing event notifications should not make any difference.

Current Behavior

System Notification Events is showing as disabled after adding a notification.

PUT events/definitions/{id} is being called by the frontend with the (wrong) default state of DISABLED.
The backend apparently does not perform any special case checking for System Notification Events, and it ends up being disabled.

The events are still being fired - but the UI showing it disabled is very confusing.
Workaround: It can be reset to enabled using bulk actions (which shouldn't really be supported for this event definition either).

We should probably backport this to 5.x

Possible Solution

We already modify the event definition form in the frontend for System Notification Events. Set the status to ENABLED in the PUT API call.
