docs: event impl. registration before hypervisor connection

Browse Source 
Event implementations need to be registered before a connection to the
Hypervisor is opened, otherwise event handling can be impaired (e.g.
delayed messages). This fact is referenced in an e-mail [1], but should
also be noted in the documentation of the registration functions.
