Summary: Clean up discussion of new C thread idiom

Initial Comment:
In init.tex, the code for the typical idiom for C
threads now uses the PyGILState functions.  However the
preceeding discussion still refers to the need to
acquire an interpreter state, etc.  Attached is a patch
which tries to clean this up a little.  I removed the
paragraph about interpreter states (which raises the
possibility of creating a new interpreter state) since
multiple interpreter states are, I believe,
incompatible (or at least untested) with PyGILState. 
It's possible that more of PEP 311 should be included
here, particularly the part about having to call
PyEval_InitThreads on the main thread before using any
of the thread APIs.
