sporadic crashes in multi-thread programs when several long deallocator
chains ran concurrently and involved subclasses of built-in container

Because of this change, a couple extension modules compiled for 3.2.4

will not be loadable by 3.2.3 and earlier. However, extension modules

Thread.start() used sleep(0.000001) to make sure it didn't return before the
new thread had started. At least on my MacBook Pro, that wound up sleeping for
a full 10ms (probably 1 jiffy). By using an Event instead, we can be absolutely
certain that the thread has started, and return more quickly (217us).
Before:
$ ./python.exe -m timeit -s 'from threading import Thread' 't = Thread(); t.start(); t.join()'
100 loops, best of 3: 10.3 msec per loop
$ ./python.exe -m timeit -s 'from threading import Thread; t = Thread()' 't.isAlive()'
1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.47 usec per loop
After:
$ ./python.exe -m timeit -s 'from threading import Thread' 't = Thread(); t.start(); t.join()'
1000 loops, best of 3: 217 usec per loop
$ ./python.exe -m timeit -s 'from threading import Thread; t = Thread()' 't.isAlive()'
1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.86 usec per loop
To be fair, the 10ms isn't CPU time, and other threads including the spawned
one get to run during it. There are also some slightly more complicated ways to
get back the .4us in isAlive() if we want.

No detailed change log; just check out the change log for the py3k-pep3137
branch. The most obvious changes:
- str8 renamed to bytes (PyString at the C level);
- bytes renamed to buffer (PyBytes at the C level);
- PyString and PyUnicode are no longer compatible.
I.e. we now have an immutable bytes type and a mutable bytes type.
The behavior of PyString was modified quite a bit, to make it more
bytes-like. Some changes are still on the to-do list.
