Logging improvements to Hyperopt (#235)

* make log texts go on new line

* remove unnecessary fields from hyperopt log messages

* shorten log text in hyperopt

* consider making zero trades a failed hyperopt eval

* only log from hyperopt when result improves

* remove unnecessary temp variables

* remove unused result data variables

* remove unused import

* fix an outdated comment
