Cleanup ThreadPool with atexit rather than __del__

This removes the __del__ function from the generated Python client,
and replaces it with a cleanup function. When a ThreadPool is created,
the cleanup function is registered with the atexit module.

This PR also allows the client to be used as a context manager, which
will automatically clean up after itself rather than having to wait til
process exit.

This fixes #1037, where the API client could hang indefinitely at
garbage collection.
