[3.6] bpo-29212: Fix the ugly repr() ThreadPoolExecutor thread name. (GH-2315) (...

bpo-29212: Fix the ugly ThreadPoolExecutor thread name.

Fixes the newly introduced ugly default thread name for concurrent.futures
thread.ThreadPoolExecutor threads.  They'll now resemble the old <=3.5
threading default Thread-x names by being named ThreadPoolExecutor-y_n..
(cherry picked from commit a3d91b43c2851312fb942f31afa12f5961706db6)
