// Init checks if the current process has been created by Spawn.
//
// If no, it returns nil and the original program can continue
// unmodified.
//
// If no, it hijacks the process to run as a child worker controlled
// by its parent over a beam connection, with f exposed as a remote
// service. In this case Init never returns.
//
// The hijacking process takes place as follows:
// - Open file descriptor 3 as a beam endpoint. If this fails,
// terminate the current process.
// - Start a new engine.
// - Call f.Install on the engine. Any handlers registered
// will be available for remote invocation by the parent.
// - Listen for beam messages from the parent and pass them to
// the handlers.
// - When the beam endpoint is closed by the parent, terminate
// the current process.
//
// NOTE: Init must be called at the beginning of the same program
// calling Spawn. This is because Spawn approximates a "fork" by
// re-executing the current binary - where it expects spawn.Init
// to intercept the control flow and execute the worker code.
