Document how to determine a recurring event's ID #191

The means by which rec_id is determined needs to be documented somewhere. Currently I (the front end) am unable to request data for a specific recurrence of a recurring event.

Old frontend code suggests that it should be possible to request data for a specific recurrence of a recurring event series by making a GET request of the form /events/<event_sid>/<ms_since_unix_epoc_of_recurrence>. However, submitting GET /events/5adfc5a48b17bd000cbb6b86/1524614451000 to the prod server results in

{ "message": "The requested URL was not found on the server.  If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again." }

@newsch also suggested I try querying using the ISO 8601 date format, but that (yyyy-mm-dd) results in the same response.

Actually, it'd probably be preferable for the server to generate recId and include it on each recurrence object.

It appears that the ISO 8601 format of YYYY-MM-DD works.
