Detailed Description

Implements OP_THREAD_SPAWN to run a function in a background thread.

Behavior:

• Pops function and optionally one argument or an array of arguments (controlled by operand).
• Spawns a new thread that invokes the function; pushes a thread id (int) or 0 on failure.

Errors:

• If types are wrong or spawning fails, returns 0.
