Some cleanups to folly::EventBase after converting to folly::Function

Summary:[Folly] Some cleanups to `folly::EventBase` after converting to `folly::Function`.

* Fix up some comments referring to `std::function`.
* Remove the `SmallFunctor` bits - `folly::Function` takes over for that.
* Remove `runFunctionPtr` - it's unused.
