Problem: the exec.eventlog re-starting event description doesn't match what its name implies and it's actually not needed.

Drop it.

Also clarify the reattach event description.

Problem: the exec.eventlog 're-starting' event's name implies that
processes are starting, but they are already running.  Also, its
description says is posted after the exec system "has successfully
attached" but the -ing implies the action is not yet complete.

This event currently has no users and is confusing.  Drop it.
Problem: the exec.eventlog 'reattach' event description is not
clear about when the event is posted.

Clarify the language.

Note: this event is analogous to 'starting' in that it signifies the
beginning of the reattach action, not its completion.  Both events
post no explicit follow-up event on success, and both post a job
exception in the main eventlog on failure.
