Remove `Thunk` struct and `Invoke` trait; change `Thunk` to be an alias

for `Box<FnBox()>`. I found the alias was still handy because it is
shorter than the fully written type.

This is a [breaking-change]: convert code using `Invoke` to use `FnBox`,
which is usually pretty straight-forward. Code using thunk mostly works
if you change `Thunk::new => Box::new` and `foo.invoke(arg)` to
`foo(arg)`.
