#3470: The eventual-send in OneShotObserverList is unnecessary and in the way

---------------------+---------------------------
 `OneShotObserverList` uses `eventually` in `_fire` to avoid having the
 `fire` method (and its caller) on the call stack when it fires the waiting
 Deferreds.

 I don't know if this was once required to make something work but it is no
 longer required to make any test in the current test suite pass.

 Since it introduces a dependency on the global reactor onto all code that
 uses `OneShotObserverList` (directly or indirectly) it makes testing much
 more difficult.
