[PATCH 3/3] bthread: add options to create and delete dummy bthreads

With few bthread users currently, it can be useful to spin up some
threads to test stuff. Add a new option to add one more thread into the
mix and another to remove one of these dummy threads. Unlike the
existing -v option that can also be stacked, these threads remain active
after command termination unless explicitly removed.
