Massive changes for separate thread state management.
All per-thread globals are moved into a struct which is manipulated
separately.

+
+ There are lots of issues here.
+
+ First, we can build Python without threads, with threads, or (when
+ Greg Stein's mods are out of beta, on some platforms) with free
+ threading.
+
+ Next, assuming some form of threading is used, there can be several
+ kinds of threads. Python code can create threads with the thread
+ module. C code can create threads with the interface defined in
+ python's "thread.h". Or C code can create threads directly with
+ the OS threads interface (e.g. Solaris threads, SGI threads or
+ pthreads, whatever is being used, as long as it's the same that
+ Python is configured for).
+
+ Next, let's discuss sharing of interpreter state between threads.
+ The exception state (sys.exc_* currently) should never be shared
+ between threads, because it is stack frame specific. The contents
+ of the sys module, in particular sys.modules and sys.path, are
+ generally shared between threads. But occasionally it is useful to
+ have separate module collections, e.g. when threads originate in C
+ code and are used to execute unrelated Python scripts.
+ (Traditionally, one would use separate processes for this, but
+ there are lots of reasons why threads are attractive.)
