In CPython, `_thread.start_new_thread()` returns an ID that is the same ID
that is returned by `_thread.get_ident()`. The current MicroPython
implementation of `_thread.start_new_thread()` always returns `None`.
This modifies the required functions to return a value. The native thread
id is returned since this can be used for interop with other functions, for
example, `pthread_kill()` on *nix. `_thread.get_ident()` is also modified
to return the native thread id so that the values match and avoids the need
for a separate `native_id` attribute.
Fixes issue #12153.

Header files that are considered internal to the py core and should not
normally be included directly are:
py/nlr.h - internal nlr configuration and declarations
py/bc0.h - contains bytecode macro definitions
py/runtime0.h - contains basic runtime enums
Instead, the top-level header files to include are one of:
py/obj.h - includes runtime0.h and defines everything to use the
mp_obj_t type
py/runtime.h - includes mpstate.h and hence nlr.h, obj.h, runtime0.h,
and defines everything to use the general runtime support functions
Additional, specific headers (eg py/objlist.h) can be included if needed.
This is to keep the top-level directory clean, to make it clear what is
core and what is a port, and to allow the repository to grow with new ports
in a sustainable way.
