Description

Ideally a bunch on clustered process should be able to exchange via pub/sub easily without external server setup. This might be possible using the cluster node package.

The real hassle is how to test it.

Research direction
Start by reading the Node.js cluster module documentation. Then explore the existing ascoltatori codebase, especially the ascoltatori base class and other implementations like RedisAscoltatore. Understand how they connect and publish/subscribe. The main challenge is testing the cluster behavior locally without external dependencies. Look at the issue comments for any proposed solutions, but there are none. Consider using a simple in process test harness that forks workers and verifies message delivery. The PR should implement a new ClusterAscoltatore that uses cluster's IPC channels for pub/sub.
