Feature: support Consul's Event API

[eikenb]

Consul's Event API description...

The event command provides a mechanism to fire a custom user event to an entire data-center. These events are opaque to Consul, but they can be used to build scripting infrastructure to do automated deploys, restart services, or perform any other orchestration action. Events can be handled by using a watch.

I'm searching for more data on potential use cases but haven't found much so far. If you know of any please let me know in a comment. Thanks.
