adds EOFError message to handlers

i think this still misses the biggest EOFError culprit which is the
node.save at the end, but we don't seem to have a node_save_failed
event to hook.

+Received an EOF on transport socket.  This almost always indicates a network
+error external to chef-client.  Some causes include:
+
+  - Blocking ICMP Dest Unreachable (breaking Path MTU Discovery)
+  - IPsec or VPN tunnelling breaking Path MTU
+  - Jumbo frames configured only on one side (breaking Path MTU)
+  - Jumbo frames configured on a LAN that does not support them
+  - Proxies or Load Balancers breaking large POSTs
+  - Broken TCP offload
+
+Try sending large pings to the destination:
+
+   windows:  ping server.example.com -f -l 9999
+   unix:  ping server.example.com -s 9999
+
+Try sending large POSTs to the destination (any HTTP code returned is success):
+
+   e.g.:  curl http://server.example.com/`printf '%*s' 9999 '' | tr ' ' 'a'`
+
+Try disabling TCP Offload Engines (TOE) in your ethernet drivers.
+
+  windows:
+    Disable-NetAdapterChecksumOffload * -TcpIPv4 -UdpIPv4 -IpIPv4 -NoRestart
+    Disable-NetAdapterLso * -IPv4 -NoRestart
+    Set-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty * -DisplayName "Large Receive Offload (IPv4)" -DisplayValue Disabled –NoRestart
+    Restart-NetAdapter *
+  unix(bash):
+    for i in rx tx sg tso ufo gso gro lro rxvlan txvlan rxhash; do /sbin/ethtool -K eth0 $i off; done
+
+In some cases the underlying virtualization layer (Xen, VMware, KVM, Hyper-V, etc) may have
+broken networking.
