Event wan-uplink-update blocks Cockpit interface

Feature
1

While server is running wan-uplink-update event, you can’t made change on Cockpit interface because is blocked.

Proposed solution

Since this event is performed always after you apply changes on firewall section, I suggest to remove fake-modal-backdrop-event like Terminal page. It’s very annoying alert and slow down configurations.

Alternative solutions

Remove wan-uplink-update from showed events on Cockpit interface (but you can’t know it’s running).

As general rule, two or more event should not run at the same time.
Even if running parallel events is not usually a problem, it should be always avoided.
Sadly, the esmith layer doesn’t have a lock system to handle such scenarios.

This is why we decided to lock the Cockpit UI while an event is running.

Even if a little bit annoying, I think that the current one is the correct behavior.
