[Federation] Record events in federated updater

Controllers for federated types were previously recording events when generating the list of operations.  This change delegates responsibility for recording events to the federated updater so that events are recorded when the operations are actually executed, and ensures consistency across recording of both operation initiation and failure.  

The deletion helper was similarly updated to rely on the federated updater for event recording.  To support this change to the deletion helper, controllers have been updated to provide a namespace qualified name via the objNameFunc function to ensure that the updater can record events for deletions with the same detail as for add and update operations.
