Subject: [PATCH] process: add `'worker'` event
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Provides a new `process.on('worker', (worker) => {})` event that
is triggered by the creation of a new `worker_thread.Worker`.
The use case is to allow hooks to be installed for monitoring
workers without having to modify the call sites around those.
