gh-41023: Fix multiprocessing start method for Python 3.14 compatibility
Python 3.14 changed the default multiprocessing start method from
``fork`` to ``forkserver`` on Linux. This caused pickling errors in the
doctest framework because DocTestWorker objects contained unpicklable
local functions.
The fix ensures that the ``fork`` start method is always used on all
platforms, not just macOS, since Sage's doctesting framework requires
the 'fork' method to function correctly.
Changes:
- src/sage/doctest/forker.py: Remove Darwin-only check, always use fork
- src/sage/doctest/external.py: Remove Darwin-only check, always use
fork
