grab-cores.py: Use threading.Thread to call spam.busy

Usually Python threads can only use one core at a time due to the
Python global interpreter lock.  This script allows us to see if
dropping the GIL with Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS allows us to use multiple
cores simultaneously.

Example of Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS and threading for multi-core processing.
