This PR adds a new helper method Runner.is_worker() as suggested by @vstinner in issue #166.
bench_func() is executed both in the main process and in worker processes.
Only the main process returns a Benchmark object, while worker processes correctly return None.
However, user code currently has no clean way to detect whether it is running in a worker process, which can lead to unexpected None values ending up in lists.
This PR introduces:
✔ Runner.is_worker()
A small utility method that returns True if the current process was started with --worker, and False otherwise.
It simply exposes the existing worker detection logic via a public API, without changing any existing behavior.
This keeps the PR minimal exactly as requested.
