Drop explicit support for multiprocessing #522

@mdickinson

Description

@mdickinson

The multiprocessing support:

  • is complex and hard to test
  • doesn't seem useful in practice, and as far as I'm aware isn't actually being used by any projects
  • is unnecessarily specific - there are many ways to execute code in a remote process, and multiprocessing is just one of those
  • is the main impediment to solving Rethink exception handling #318, since it's the reason that we need to serialize exceptions

We could instead document patterns for integration of Traits Futures with multiprocessing and other out-of-process remote execution.
