Issue 18984: Remove ._stopped Event from Thread internals.
The fix for issue 18808 left us checking two things to be sure a Thread
was done: an Event (._stopped) and a mutex (._tstate_lock). Clumsy &
brittle. This patch removes the Event, leaving just a happy lock :-)
The bulk of the patch removes two excruciating tests, which were
verifying sanity of the internals of the ._stopped Event after a fork.
Thanks to Antoine Pitrou for verifying that's the only real value
these tests had.
One consequence of moving from an Event to a mutex: waiters (threads
calling Thread.join()) used to block each on their own unique mutex
(internal to the ._stopped event), but now all contend on the same
mutex (._tstate_lock). These approaches have different performance
characteristics on different platforms. I don't think it matters in
this context.
