PyEval_SaveThread() and PyEval_RestoreThread() now return/take a
PyThreadState pointer instead of a (frame) PyObject pointer. This makes much more sense. It is backward incompatible, but that's no problem, because (a) the heaviest users are the Py_{BEGIN,END}_ ALLOW_THREADS macros here, which have been fixed too; (b) there are very few direct users; (c) those who use it are there will probably appreciate the change. Also, added new functions PyEval_AcquireThread() and PyEval_ReleaseThread() which allows the threads created by the thread module as well threads created by others (!) to set/reset the current thread, and at the same time acquire/release the interpreter lock. Much saner.
