[r=mpontillo][bug=][author=allenap] New function, deferToNewThread().
This is very similar to Twisted's deferToThread() except that no thread-pool is used. Instead a new thread is created, the function is called within it, then the thread ends. This is useful for long-running tasks where we don't want to take a "slot" from the thread-pool.
