  Issue #7449 part 3, test_doctest: import trace module in test_coverage()

  Import trace module fail if the threading module is missing. test_coverage() is
  only used if test_doctest.py is used with the -c option. This commit allows to
  execute the test suite without thread support.

  Move "import trace" in test_coverage() and use
  test_support.import_module('trace').

  thread support.

   * Skip test_open() and test_thread_open() if we are unable to find the C
     library
   * Skip test_thread_open() if thread support is disabled
   * Use unittest.skipUnless(os.name == "nt", ...) on test_GetLastError()

  Issue #7449, part 7: simplify threading detection in test_capi

  Issue #7449, part 9: fix test_xmlrpclib for missing threading module

   * Skip testcases using threads if threading module is missing

  Partial revert of r80556 (Issue #7449, part 5, fix ctypes test)

  Rewrite r80556: the thread test have to be executed just after the test on
  libc_open() and so the test cannot be splitted in two functions (without
  duplicating code, and I don't want to duplicate code).

  Issue #7449, part 10: test_cmd imports trace module using test_support.import_module()

  Use test_support.import_module() instead of import to raise a SkipTest
  exception if the import fail. Import trace fails if the threading module is
  missing.

  See also part 3: test_doctest: import trace module in test_coverage().
