Python API: Missing locking of results data structure.
The wrong assumption that the GIL combined with CPython's "mostly"
thread safe assurance does not hold. The combination of a slow
event handler for notification and calling the API at the same
time let to contention on the results data structure.
Added suitable locking.
Also added an atexit() to attempt a VPP disconnect on shutdown.
Also: lots more comments, docstrings, duplicated code removed.
Some of the problem here was a disagreement between caller
and author as to how the API should be used; the comments should
help.
