This ability was only used during tests; in actual production, there is always a DB. Not having to support the DB-less use is going to make it a lot cleaner to use the DB as a queue (see stacks-network#6543). This commit also makes the method names and order of operations a little less confusing -- we had `send_payload()`, `send_payload_directly()`, `send_payload_given_db_path()` (ok that one was my fault), and `send_payload_with_bytes()`. Now we have this instead: ``` dispatch_to_observer() -> get_payload_bytes() -> save_to_db() -> make_http_request_and_delete_from_db() -> make_http_request() -> delete_from_db() ```

This is another PR I'm splitting out of #6762 since this commit is very self-contained.
The ability to have the event dispatcher not use the database was only used during tests; in actual production, there is always a DB.
Not having to support the DB-less use is going to make it a lot cleaner to use the DB as a (required) queue (see #6543).
This commit also makes the method names and order of operations a little less confusing -- we had
send_payload(),send_payload_directly(),send_payload_given_db_path()(ok that one was my fault), andsend_payload_with_bytes().Now we have this instead:
Reviewing notes
I've tried to keep the order of the functions in such a way that the diff has as little noise as possible, at least when you hide whitespace, which I strongly suggest).
