Python 的 daemon 线程的精讲---通透

关于 Python 中的 daemon 的设置说明：
https://www.cnblogs.com/xfiver/p/5189732.html

Daemons are only useful when the main program is running,
and it’s okay to kill them off once the other non-daemon threads have exited.
Without daemon threads, we have to keep track of them, and tell them to exit, before our program can completely quit.
By setting them as daemon threads,
we can let them run and forget about them, and when our program quits, any daemon threads are killed automatically.
Daemon线程当且仅当主线程运行时有效，当其他非Daemon线程结束时可自动杀死所有Daemon线程。
如果没有Daemon线程的定义，则必须手动的跟踪这些线程，在程序结束前手动结束这些线程。
通过设置线程为Daemon线程，则可以放任它们运行，并遗忘它们，当主程序结束时这些Daemon线程将自动被杀死。

Python主程序当且仅当不存在 非Daemon 线程存活时退出。
即:主程序等待所有非Daemon线程结束后才退出，且退出时会自动结束（很粗鲁的结束）所有Daemon线程。
亦理解为：Daemon设置为子线程是否随主线程一起结束，默认为False。如果要随主线程一起结束需要设置为True。
