Documentation for `multiprocessing` module wrongly states that `concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor` does not exist

[paternal]

The documentation for the multiprocessing module reads:

The :mod:multiprocessing module also introduces APIs which do not have
analogs in the :mod:threading module. A prime example of this is the :class:~multiprocessing.pool.Pool object […].

While this is not wrong (there is no such tool in the threading module), it is misleading because such a tool exists elsewhere, in the concurrent.futures module.

Several ways to fix this:

1. Remove this sentence:
