Adds "threading" test-runner strategy, which mirrors the "multithreading" runner in terms of supporting Ctrl-C and hand-rolling the worker model.  Like multiprocessing over multiprocessing-pool, threading outperforms threading-pool.

Both threading and multiprocessing operate at roughly the same speed (within 10s of ms) on a 24 core Linux box.  Both these two test runners are substantially faster than the versions that use the Pool class --- the Pool-class versions are 20-25% slower than the hand-rolled worker pool versions, likely due to the more even on-demand scheduling and coarse grain and uneven nature of our tasks being run.
