[issue4208] Make multiprocessing compatible with Python 2.4 and 2.5

[Christian Heimes]

New submission from Christian Heimes <lists at cheimes.de>:

The patch contains all differences between our multiprocessing backport
to 2.4 / 2.5 and the release26-maint branch. The patch should NOT be
applied yet. I've created the patch to discuss the differences.

Several changes could be avoided by monkey patching the threading module
of Python 2.4 and 2.5. Other changes are required like using the old
buffer protocol.
