Fix synctl and duplicate worker spawning (#8798)
Synctl did not check if a worker thread was already running when using
`synctl start` and would naively start a fresh copy. This would
sometimes lead to cases where many duplicate copies of a single worker
would run.

This fix adds a pid check when starting worker threads and synctl will
now refuse to start individual workers if they're already running.
