Returns a Thread object on which you can call start() to start the server,
and which you can join() when appropriate. To stop the server, call
stopListening().
Use the ``verify`` argument to verify any bytes received across the wire
from a client. If specified, it should be a callable which receives a
single argument - the bytes of configuration data received across the
network - and it should return either ``None``, to indicate that the
passed in bytes could not be verified and should be discarded, or a
byte string which is then passed to the configuration machinery as
normal. Note that you can return transformed bytes, e.g. by decrypting
the bytes passed in.
