[issue25304] Add run_coroutine_threadsafe() to asyncio

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum added the comment:

Well, I still worry that this is just going to encourage more people to try and call awaitables from threaded code, and through some circuitous path of misunderstandings (probably involving StackOverflow :-) end up using this function.

(Pretty much the worst-case scenario would be calling run_coroutine_threadsafe() targeting the *current* loop, and then blocking the thread waiting for its result. Deadlock!)
