The Ping event is important, as it means that requests complete within
a sensible time. The disk events API didn't have the Ping event, so
if there were no disk events, the request would keep taking forever.
Unless, of course, there's a reverse proxy which times the request out
after a suitably large interval (or something else aborts it), in which
case Syncthing isn't very happy.

Testing

Ran Syncthing, saw that the request to the disk events API completed with a ping event after a while.
