Fix escape characters of events when dry running

JSONEditor double escapes escape characters to properly display them in the UI, however when dry running Agents we
actually need to send the Event's characters as they were.
Before an event containing new lines like this `Line A\nLineB` would be send as `Line A\\nLineB` to the backend. By
replacing the double escaped slashes we ensure the event is handled as it would be when not dry running.
