CeilometerStoreEvents set to false, but Ceilometer still stores events

[Alex Krzos]

CeilometerStoreEvents defaults to off but events are still saved to mongodb. This causes mongodb to grow in size until the disk runs out because the event TTL is set to -1. store_events doesn't matter because events_dispatcher=database is configured by default thus causing events to be saved into mongodb without any ttl.

CeilometerStoreEvents set to false [0]
CeilometerStoreEvents maps to store_events under agent notification configuration [1]
events_dispatcher defaults to database in ceilometer puppet installer [2]
event_time_to_live defaults to -1 in ceilometer puppet installer [3]
