Callback implementation for Application.start/2
.
Start a new singleton process.
This function needs to be executed on all nodes where the singleton process is allowed to live. The actual process will be started only once; a manager process is started on each node for each singleton to ensure that the process continues on (possibly) another node in case of node disconnects or crashes.
