Prior to this PR, on Linux, this is already a fork process because of defaults.

But this process must be a fork process, for the same reason that other explicit ForkProcesses in Parsl must be fork processes: we cannot re-import the the unknown user workflow script again.

This PR makes that explicit and consistent with other forked processes.

Longer term, multiprocessing-forked processes need to go away throughout Parsl - see issue #2343, but this PR is not for that.

Changed Behaviour

This should not change behaviour on Linux. On platforms that are not Linux, nothing is supported and is probably already broken here.
