Heavily revised, comprising revisions:

46692:46918 merged from branch aimacintyre-sf1454481
branch tested on buildbots (Windows buildbots had problems
not related to these changes).
46640 Patch #1454481: Make thread stack size runtime tunable.
46647 Markup fix
The first is causing many buildbots to fail test runs, and there
are multiple causes with seemingly no immediate prospects for
repairing them. See python-dev discussion.
Note that a branch can (and should) be created for resolving these
problems, like
svn copy svn+ssh://svn.python.org/python/trunk -r46640 svn+ssh://svn.python.org/python/branches/NEW_BRANCH
followed by merging rev 46647 to the new branch.
code.
PyThread_set_key_value(): It's clear that this code assumes the passed-in
value isn't NULL, so document that it must not be, and assert that it
isn't. It remains unclear whether existing callers want the odd semantics
actually implemented by this function.
because GNU/k*BSD uses gnu pth to provide pthreads, but will also happen on any
system that does the same.
python fails to build because it doesn't detect gnu pth in pthread
emulation. See C comments in patch for details.

This changes Pythread_start_thread() to return the thread ID, or -1
for an error. (It's technically an incompatible API change, but I
doubt anyone calls it.)
Do not assume that all platforms using a MetroWorks compiler can use
POSIX threads; the assumption breaks on BeOS. This fix only helps
for BeOS.
This closes SourceForge patch #101772.
I can't test this, so I'm just checking it in with blind faith in Andy.
I've tested that it doesn't broeak a non-Pth build on Linux.
Changes include:
- There's a --with-pth configure option.
- Instead of _GNU_PTH, we test for HAVE_PTH.
- Better signal handling.
- (The config.h.in file is regenerated in a slightly different order.)
