Add A Howto Page About Concurrency in Python

[ericsnowcurrently]

It would help to have a place where the various approaches to concurrency in Python are explained and compared. It would be especially useful to enumerate the most common concurrency-oriented workloads and show how to implement them using the different concurrency models.

I expect we would cover the following concurrency models:

• threads (threading and concurrent.futures)
• multi-processing (multiprocessing and concurrent.futures)
• async/await
• CSP/actor model (PEP 734 interpreters)
• distributed (e.g. SMP/dask)

@BruceEckel, I have a rough draft mostly settled (see the PR). I know you've been working on a book in this area, so I'd love to get your insight. I'd be glad to hop into a call to discuss this, if you're available.

I gave up on the book but would be glad to review or otherwise work through this. Sometime tomorrow or Friday might work; next week we're speaking at a conference about the Effect Oriented Programming book, so that's where my head has been at.
