#21172: have LiveServerThread follow the semantics of threading.Thread.join()

The semantics of `threading.Thread.join()` are "wait for this thread to
end" and nothing more.
However, `LiveServerThread` redefines these semantics to **first cause
this thread to end** and then wait for this thread to end.
This harms reusability, because someone calling `join()` on this object
would expect the regular semantics and not the Django-specific
redefinition. I've encountered this bug in 1.5 but visual inspection of
`master` shows that at the time of writing this ticket it is present there
too.
