Title: Quiet ERROR-level Akka Logs

This fixes an issue I've seen where akka logs a bunch of things at ERROR level when connecting to a standalone cluster, even in the normal case. I noticed that even when lifecycle logging was disabled, the netty code inside of akka still logged away via akka's EndpointWriter class. There are also some other log streams that I think are new in akka 2.2.1 that I've disabled.

Finally, I added some better logging to the standalone client. This makes it more clear when a connection failure occurs what is going on. Previously it never explicitly said if a connection attempt had failed.
