Docstring update for Window.perform_long_operation - warns users that Thread are used and thus no PySimpleGUI calls are allowed. Also
added description of exactly what happens when the user's function completes. Thank you @zhaowb for pointing out this warning wasn't present.

"""
Call your function that will take a long time to execute. When it's complete, send an event
specified by the end_key.
This is a way for you to "ease into" threading without learning the details of threading.
Your function will run, and when it returns 2 things will happen:
1. The value you provide for end_key will be returned to you when you call window.read()
2. If your function returns a value, then the value returned will also be included in your windows.read call in the values dictionary
IMPORTANT - This method uses THREADS... this means you CANNOT make any PySimpleGUI calls from
the function you provide with the exception of one function, Window.write_event_value.
:param func: A lambda or a function name with no parms
:type func: Any
