The current methods of spawning processes for parallel execution have issues around collection of results or exceptions. Take the code from package_ipk/deb, make it generic, add a results collection mechanism, fix the exception handling and for it into a standard library function. Also add a test case which tests both the success and failure modes of operation to stop this functionality regressiing again. In particular, compared to multiprocess_exec, this fork off the parent approach means we can pass in the datastore and functions work in the same scope as the parent. This removes some of the complexities found trying to scale multiprocess_exec to wider use.
