bpo-6532: Make the thread id an unsigned integer. (#781)
* bpo-6532: Make the thread id an unsigned integer. From C API side the type of results of PyThread_start_new_thread() and PyThread_get_thread_ident(), the id parameter of PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc(), and the thread_id field of PyThreadState changed from "long" to "unsigned long". * Restore a check in thread_get_ident().
