[issue41833] threading.Thread: use target name if the name parameter is omitted

IMO if you want to go at the level of details, I suggest you to generate yourself thread names:

threads = [threading.Thread(name=f"MyThread-{i}") for i in range(1, 6)]

Maintaining a list of thread names sounds overkill to me. It would be quite complicated and would increase the memory footprint, for little benefit.
