The aim of this commit is to make it so that the existing thread tests can
be used to test the _thread module on the rp2 port. The rp2 port only
allows up to one thread to be created at a time, and does not have the GIL
enabled.
The following changes have been made:
- run-tests.py skips mutation tests on rp2, because there's no GIL.
- run-tests.py skips other tests on rp2 that require more than one thread.
- The tests stop trying to start a new thread after there is an OSError,
which indicates that the system cannot create more threads.
- Some of these tests also now run the test function on the main thread,
not just the spawned threads.
- In some tests the output printing is adjusted so it's the same regardless
of how many threads were spawned.
- Some time.sleep(1) are replaced with time.sleep(0) to make the tests run
a little faster (finish sooner when the work is done).
For the most part the tests are unchanged for existing platforms like esp32
and unix.

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.

This adds the Python files in the tests/ directory to be formatted with
./tools/codeformat.py. The basics/ subdirectory is excluded for now so we
aren't changing too much at once.
In a few places `# fmt: off`/`# fmt: on` was used where the code had
special formatting for readability or where the test was actually testing
the specific formatting.
