    dev-python/python-rtmidi: do not look for libpthread
    
    This is a glibcism, and in any case it's rtmidi and python-rtmidi which
    depends on threads.

Thanks Marecki. It's also a good fix for another reason: find_library is really fragile in Python and is considered a mistake in the API.
