Improve threading.daemon docstring (GH-14278)
Rephrase and clarify that "the entire Python program exits when only daemon threads are left". This matches the documentation at https://docs.python.org/3/library/threading.htmlGH-thread-objects. (cherry picked from commit bb110cc2ed81447fb48805f31146cf31323a8fc3) Co-authored-by: mbarkhau <mbarkhau@gmail.com>
