If not running in main thread, create & set a new event loop. #7

When running TikTokAPI-Python in a subthread, I encountered an error:

RuntimeError: There is no current event loop in thread 'ThreadPoolExecutor-0_0'.

This RuntimeError does not occur when I use TikTokAPI-Python directly in a script (i.e. in the main python thread), but it does occur when calling TikTokAPI-Python from another (multithreaded) application. As far as I can see, if not running in the main thread, it's necessary to create & set a new event loop.

My proposed solution should not alter anything if running in the main thread, but avoid trouble otherwise.
