Jimmy Durand Wesolowski 3d2141bcee support/testing/run-tests: specify multiprocessing method
Since Python 3.14, the multiprocessing library API has changed.
Quoting [1]:
"""
On POSIX platforms the default start method was changed from fork to
forkserver to retain the performance but avoid common multithreaded
process incompatibilities.
"""

Since this is expected to be under "if __name__ == '__main__'", we need
to have this in support/testing/run-tests regardless of how this will be
fixed in nose2. See [2].
