Runtime: work around 1s delay added when using twisted reactor's callLater.

Since wxPython4, using wxReactor from non-main thread was producing
exceptions in wxWidget's C++ code. Then reactor.run() was called from
main thread, and runtime's worker was delegating calls to reactor
with callLater(0, callable).

While this worked perfectly with wxReactor, it did introduce an unexplained
1 second delay to each worker call when using nomal linux reactors
(i.e. without wxPython). As a workaround reactor runs in a thread when using
twisted without wxPython
// import Nevow.Athena

function init() {
  Nevow.Athena.Widget.fromAthenaID(1).callRemote('HMIexec', 'HMIinitialisation');
}

WebInterface.PLC = Nevow.Athena.Widget.subclass('WebInterface.PLC');
WebInterface.PLC.method(
	 'updateHMI',
	 function (self, data) {
	   d = self.callRemote('getPLCElement');
	   d.addCallback(
			 function liveElementReceived(le) {
				d2 = self.addChildWidgetFromWidgetInfo(le);
				d2.addCallback(
						function childAdded(widget) {
						var node = self.nodeById('content');
						node.replaceChild(widget.node, node.getElementsByTagName('div')[0]);
						init();
						});
				});
	   });

Divmod.Base.addLoadEvent(init);
