Join to non-blocking AE server thread

See original GitHub issue

I would like to print a logging statement from my SCP after it has started.

Now I print the “… SCP has started” message before calling the start_server() function with block=True. This is not ideal, because even if things go wrong when starting the service, a message about a “successful start” will be in the logs. (I do check if the port is available, but there can be other issues that I cannot foresee.)

I think something like this would be nice:

threaded_association_server = ae.start_server((bind_address, port), block=False)
print("SCP has started.")
threaded_association_server.join()

As I see, the thread is created as a local variable in AE.start_server() and it is not stored anywhere, so I cannot call join() now.

Does this make sense?
