Create a named pipe using the specified `pipeBasename` (not a pathname), and execute the task manager event processor in a background thread. Return 0 on success, and a non‐zero value otherwise. See {Requirements for the Named Pipe} for expectations for `pipeBasename`. After a successful return, calls to `start` fail until `stop` has been called (successfully); afterwards, `start` can be called again with the same or some other `pipeBasename`. Note that the `pipeName()` method provides the (full) pathname to the created named pipe.
