The render server is a daemon that sits idle waiting for commands. When
requested to create a context, it forks and creates the context in a
subprocess. This isolates contexts from each other, from the server
process, and from the client process.
Because a context process can execute untrusted commands and depends on
GPU drivers, the isolation should improve the security.
There is also a multi-thread mode where each context is executed by a
thread. This mode is used to ease debugging, but maybe someone will
find a use case for it.
