Event: deprecate originalJson[Object]()

The "original JSON" wording is misleading: the returned JSON can be and
is routinely edited as a part of event construction, redaction, editing.
Also, originalJson() name is misleading in that it returns a stringified
(in a very specific way) JSON and not an object. You have to call
fullJson() to get the object, and originalJsonObject(), confusingly,
returns exactly the same thing but as a value rather than as
a reference. The original intention of keeping originalJsonObject() was
to make it Q_INVOKABLE or use it as an accessor for a Q_PROPERTY.
unfortunately, this was never really practical as discussed in
the previous commit.

All that implies that clients have to handle passing event JSON to QML
themselves, in the form they prefer (as an object or a string). The
added complexity is negligible though; on the other hand, there's added
flexibility in, e.g., choosing a compact instead of default JSON layout
or even generate a highlighted JSON representation.
