test: Worker initialization failure test case

Cover the scenario fixed through #31621 Unfortunately there is no easy way to test this, in a cross-platform manner. So the approach is: - open a child process with ulimit restriction on file descriptors - in the child process, start few workers - more than the fd limit - make sure some workers fail, with the expected error type. - skip the test in windows, as there is no ulimit there.
