rados.py: remove Rados.__del__(); it just causes problems
Recent versions of Python contain a change to thread shutdown that
causes ceph to hang on exit; see http://bugs.python.org/issue21963.
As it turns out, this is relatively easy to avoid by not spawning
threads on exit, as Rados.__del__() will certainly do by calling
shutdown(); I suspect, but haven't proven, that the problem is
that shutdown() tries to start() a threading.Thread() that never
makes it all the way back to signal start().
Also add a PendingReleaseNote and extra doc comments to clarify.
