[hobbit] disabled monitors showing purple occasionally on web ui

I've noticed this problem for a while now: Occasionally I see a host showing on the monitor page which is all purple (minus the info and trends column), and it disappears when hobbit regens the html. This host is always one which is disabled.

OK, I found out why - when a host was disabled, hobbit's "valid until" timestamp for the statusreport was not being updated; so to bbgen it appeared as if the status message was no longer valid, hence it would show up purple. This would actually trigger a status update so the "valid until" timestamp was refreshed, and it would stay blue for another 30 minutes.

Cute interaction between the hobbit daemon and bbgen.
