Merge #561

561: Replicate missing functionality into new taker UI r=klochowicz a=klochowicz

- display information about errors when possible (e.g. when cfd action failed),
- inform the user if the daemon got shut down

also, as a separate commit, remove checking for daemon's presence in the maker's
UI (automation can poll for it by itself).
