[issue43050] threading timer memory leak

[Martin Panter]

Perhaps this is caused by Issue 37788. Python 3.7.4 introduced a leak for any thread that doesn't get its "join" method called. Timer is a subclass of Thread, so to confirm, see if calling "timer.join()" after "cancel" will make the leak go away.
