Automatic temporary suppression of entities

[fniessink]

User story

As a quality manager I want Quality-time to automatically suppress new measurement entities for a brief period of time to give developers a chance to fix entities before I point them out to them.

Acceptance criteria

• The user can set the suppression period per source (which is 0 days by default).
• Suppressed entities are not counted towards the measurement value.
• Suppressed entities are crossed out in the measurement detail tables and have the status "Temporarily suppressed" and the status end date has been set.
• The eye-button in the measurement details table to hide crossed out measurement entities also hides "Temporarily suppressed" entities.

Assumptions

• We can use the same logic for not counting suppressed measurement entities as we use for entities marked as false positive, etc.
