[IronPython] Bug: Builtin thread module incomplete

start_new, exit_thread and allocate all appear to be undocumented and their __doc__ says they're just obsolete synonyms, which explains how we missed them.

But yes, we can make these call the correctly named versions so that old scripts don't have to be modified.  I've opened a beta 7 bug for this so it should be fixed in the next release.

Subject: [IronPython] Bug: Builtin thread module incomplete

The builtin IronPython thread module (./IronPython/Modules/thread.cs)
is missing several module functions, such as 'start_new',
'exit_thread' and 'allocate'. (see below)

The missing 'start_new' is causing some cpython scripts not to run for
me on IronPython. Is this going to be fixed for 1.0?
