Title: Don't import luigi.worker from __init__.py

There's some really fishy bug going on with multiprocessing that we are investigating. It *seems* like (but still to be confirmed) that luigi.hadoop ends up importing luigi.worker which in turn imports multiprocessing. multiprocessing *seems* to have a bug causing an exception in the global scope in case the temporary directory is too long (bind() fails if the temp path is > 107 characters, this is a known UNIX issue)

Even if the theory above isn't correct, this still cleans some import dependencies, by moving Event to its own module
