node-tools: say whose words a refused event is (hq issue 276)

"plex did not take radarr.download.completed: Unexpected end of JSON input"
read as the runtime failing to parse the bundle's answer. It was plex's own
handler error, relayed. A bundle's error answer is now a launch.Refused, and
the line says the handler answered an error, quotes it, names the event id
and the delay before the next offer; the runtime's own failures (no answer
in time, bundle exited) are said as before.

The rule, unchanged and now tested: any mesh/event answer that is not an
error takes the event, whatever its result says, including none.
