Angelos Evripiotis requested to merge aevri/spawn into master Aug 01, 2019

Add support for the spawn method of starting processes.

.gitlab-ci.yml: Add a test with spawn enabled
_frontend/cli: support 'BST_FORCE_START_METHOD' env var
Support pickling jobs if the platform requires it
Abstract mp Queue usage, prep to spawn processes
utils: uppercase global _MAIN_PID, move to top

This is vital for supporting the win32 platform: #1021
