Package take over: OneTuple

[Oleg Grenrus]

my Chart + diagrams usage depends on SVGFonts [1], which depend on tuple
[2] which depend on OneTuple.

So if SVGFonts could drop a dependency on `tuple`, that would solve my
usage problem too. CC:ing SVGFonts maintainers.
In fact, dropping the dependency is easy in this case:
https://github.com/diagrams/SVGFonts/pull/26

OTOH, Only's description says

NOTE: There is also the OneTuple package which by using a boxed
data-type provides a 1-tuple type which has laziness properties which
are more faithful to the ones of Haskell's native tuples; whereas the
primary purpose of Only is to provide the traditionally so named
type-wrapper for attaching typeclass instances.

So there's still some value in keeping OneTuple alive.
