Use a specialized class for querying events
This changes various controllers to use the new EventCollection class for retrieving events. This class uses a JOIN LATERAL query on PostgreSQL to retrieve queries in a more efficient way, while falling back to a simpler / less efficient query for MySQL. The EventCollection class also includes a limit on the number of events to display to prevent malicious users from cycling through all events, as doing so could put a lot of pressure on the database. JOIN LATERAL is only supported on PostgreSQL starting with version 9.3.0 and as such this optimisation is only used when using PostgreSQL 9.3 or newer.
