[issue12469] test_faulthandler failures on FreeBSD 6

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at haypocalc.com>:

test_faulthandler fails on the FreeBSD 6 buildbot since my commit 024827a9db64990865d29f9d525694f51197e770:

Issue #12392: fix thread initialization on FreeBSD 6

On FreeBSD6, pthread_kill() doesn't work on the main thread before the creation
of the first thread. Create therefore a dummy thread (no-op) a startup to
initialize the pthread library.

Add also a test for this use case, test written by Charles-François Natali.
