[PATCH 2/4] uievent: add error to registerEventHandler return

[Ed Bartosh]

Current code throws Exception("Could not register UI event handler")
if event handler can't be registered. The real reason of this is that
cooker is in busy state. Error message lacks information about this.

Added error message to the return value of registerEventHandler.
Included returned error message into the log message and exception
text.

[PATCH 3/4] uievent: get rid of EventHandler attribute

[Ed Bartosh]

This attribute was introduced by mistake. EventHandle is used in the
code for the same purpose.

I'd just use the else clause of the for loop here, this is just the sort of
case it's good for. The else clause is run when the loop finished / didn't
break.

for count_tries in range(5):
    # do stuff
    if something:
        break
else:
    # didn't break
    raise Exception(errmsg)
