What does this PR do?
This PR resolves an issue where setting start_method=spawn doesn't work in Jupyter in the function passed to optimize lives in the cell.
Now, the user can pass their desired start_method to the optimize function but in case they doesn't, we will select 'fork' within notebooks and spawn otherwise.
Fixes #295
