RFA: lift no-argument restriction on observers

[Tom Tromey <tromey@redhat.com>]

I noticed a comment in observer.texi to the effect that no-argument
observers are not possible.  Sure enough, observer.sh does not handle
this case, and there is one observer that takes a dummy argument to
work around this problem.

This patch lifts the restriction by changing observer.sh.  It also
modifies that one observer to remove the dummy argument.

Tested on x86 F8, no regressions.  Ok?
