Dear Maintainer,

The 0004-plugins-mp-set-context-to-fork-for-Python-3.14-mp-AP.patch patch
added in 0.15.1-2 is wrong and breaks certain use cases.

As discussed in the upstream PR, multiprocessing.set_start_method() is wrong
and breaks various use cases as it can only be called once per program (it
throws a RuntimeError if called more than once).

https://github.com/nose-devs/nose2/pull/644

As a minimum it should handle that exception and/or only call it if needed
(E.G.  get_start_method() not returning 'fork', but ideally it should not
affect global settings as explained in the PR discussion.

An example of a nose2 user broken by this:

Hi Maintainer,

I have prepared MRs for upgrading nose2 to the new upstream version 0.16.0.
