Two helper functions to enable an event and disable an event which wraps the
launch and destroy of an event but takes care of the enabled flag.
They are also idempotent that is can be called multiple time on the same event
without effect if the event was already enabled or disabled.

In tor, we have a series of possible "roles" that the tor daemon can be
enabled for. They are:
Client, Bridge, Relay, Authority (directory or bridge) and Onion service.
They can be combined sometimes. For instance, a Directory Authority is also a
Relay. This adds a "roles" field to a periodic event item object which is used
to know for which roles the event is for.
The next step is to enable the event only if the roles apply. No behavior
change at this commit.
