Add number of threads information

It would be a nice idea to add number of threads. This info is available in 
/proc/<pid>/status : 
Threads:    8


Is it possible ?

Setting 0.2.1 milestone for now.
First we have to figure out what kind of information we want to provide exactly.
Other than just the number of threads one might want to have a "thread object" 
and do something with it, like getting its id or killing/suspending the thread 
in which case the implementation gets a lot more complicated than just reading /proc.

My vote would be just to have number of threads as a metric, at least for now. 

I can't really see killing/suspending or otherwise tampering with threads for a 
running process from psutil, but if for some reason we do decide to do that we 
can implement that later.

It turned out we need exactly this at work to debug a nasty bug in our web app 
build on top of paster web server. =)
For this reason I'm re-setting milestone to 0.2.0.
