bpo-1230540: Add threading.excepthook() (GH-13515)
Add a new threading.excepthook() function which handles uncaught Thread.run() exception. It can be overridden to control how uncaught exceptions are handled. threading.ExceptHookArgs is not documented on purpose: it should not be used directly. * threading.excepthook() and threading.ExceptHookArgs. * Add _PyErr_Display(): similar to PyErr_Display(), but accept a 'file' parameter. * Add _thread._excepthook(): C implementation of the exception hook calling _PyErr_Display(). * Add _thread._ExceptHookArgs: structseq type. * Add threading._invoke_excepthook_wrapper() which handles the gory details to ensure that everything remains alive during Python shutdown. * Add unit tests.
