// Returns a new thread that is running work_func and is identified

//
// The given param (which may be null) is passed to work_func when the thread

// Conventions:
// * We use the prefix TF_ for everything in the API.
// * Objects are always passed around as pointers to opaque structs
//   and these structs are allocated/deallocated via the API.
// * TF_Status holds error information.  It is an object type
//   and therefore is passed around as a pointer to an opaque
//   struct as mentioned above.
// * Every call that has a TF_Status* argument clears it on success
