Summary: Pruning threading.py from asserts

Initial Comment:
threading.py heavily uses asserts to protect against undefined behavior. That's no good, because asserts are removed when Python is run with the -O option. 

The suggested fix is to replace all, or almost all, assertions with more robust RuntimeErrors. 

The whole change is split in two parts. First a patch which adds tests for the new behavior. Then a patch which fixes threading.py and adds the necessary documentation.
