Title: SI-8019 Make Publisher check PartialFunction is defined for Event

_re-submission of https://github.com/scala/scala/pull/3205 rebased against the 2.10.x branch - @adriaanm points out that post 2.10.x, swing has moved to https://github.com/scala/scala-swing_

Reactions are PartialFunctions, so if events come through indiscriminately that the listener is not defined for, errors occur. Eg:

```
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" scala.MatchError: FocusGained(scala.swing wrapper scala.swing.TextField
```
