Hmm, OK. Using the same authn ID for the leader and the workers still
looks a bit strange to me as the worker is not the one that does the
authentication, only the leader does that. Anyway, FixedParallelState
includes some authentication data passed down by the leader when
spawning a worker. So, if we were to pass down the authn, we are
going to need a new PARALLEL_KEY_* to serialize and restore the data
passed down via a DSM like any other states as per the business in
parallel.c. Jacob, what do you think?
