The machinefile format is n*hostname for n processes at hostname. Or
auto*hostname for detecting the number of cores at hostname.
addprocs accepts an array of tuples or strings.
addprocs([("host1", :auto), ("host2", 5), "host3"]) will launch as many
workers as cores on host1, 5 workers on host2 and a single worker on host3.
