Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

If we currently want an active host/service to temporarily or permanently stop performing checks — including background checks which it otherwise continues to do during DOWNTIME — we place it in DOWNTIME and disable its active/passive checks.
If we want to reactivate it later, we need to end the DOWNTIME and also re-enable the host's/service's active and passive checks.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be useful if, on the DOWNTIME screen, there was an option to also disable the active and/or passive checks during the DOWNTIME.
And once the DOWNTIME ends, the active/passive checks should automatically return to their original state.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the DOWNTIME screen and the code handling active and passive check state, then trace how a downtime starts and ends. Done means downtime can optionally preserve and restore each check state automatically.
