Lucian Petrut 53a8d6d0b3 Fix event listeners
PyMI subscribes to event providers, setting a callback that will be
invoked when an event arrives. When called, the event watcher will
block until an event is retrieved. A threading.Event is used
internally by PyMI for the event waiting workflow.

The issue is that the threading module will be monkey patched by
eventlet. The event callback is performed from a different thread, so
attempting to set the event for which the event watcher waits will
some times raise the "error: cannot switch to a different thread"
greenlet exception, thus breaking the event listener.

This issue can be fixed at the os-win level, without PyMI having to
know about eventlet monkey patching. We can make sure that PyMI uses
the unpatched threading module, also ensuring that the blocking calls
are run in a different thread, so that we don't block the calling
thread. eventlet.tpool can be used to easily achieve this.

Closes-Bug: #1568824
