Stop trying to fetch events with event_id=None. (#5753)

`None` is not a valid event id, so queuing up a database fetch for it seems
like a silly thing to do.

I considered making `get_event` return `None` if `event_id is None`, but then
its interaction with `allow_none` seemed uninituitive, and strong typing ftw.
