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

+      interp = PyInterpreterState_New();

+      (void) PyThreadState_Swap(tstate);
+      PyInitialize();
+      .
+      . (use the interpreter here)
+      .
+      Py_Cleanup();
+      PyThreadState_Delete(tstate);
+      PyInterpreterState_Delete(interp);
+
+   2. Totally indepent interpreter invocation in a separate C thread:
