Summary:
`Process.start()` actually take some time as it needs to start a
process and pass the arguments over via a pipe. Therefore, we
only add a worker to self.workers list after it started, so
that we do not call `.join()` if program dies before it starts,
and `__del__` tries to join it but will get:
AssertionError: can only join a started process.
Example trace when such error happens:

No test because hard to reliably trigger.
