Remove indirection in threading (issue #10968).
The public names (Thread, Condition, etc.) used to be factory functions returning instances of hidden classes (_Thread, _Condition, etc.), because (if Guido recalls correctly) this code pre-dates the ability to subclass extension types. It is now possible to inherit from Thread and other classes, without having to import the private underscored names like multiprocessing did. A doc update will follow: a patch is under discussion on the issue.
