Unstarted lazy job prevents parent from completion

The following example hangs forever:

class LazyChildTest : CoroutineScope {
    @get:Rule
    val timeout: CoroutinesTimeout = CoroutinesTimeout.seconds(1)

    private val parent = Job()
    override val coroutineContext: CoroutineContext = parent

    @BeforeTest
    fun start() {
        launch(CoroutineName("lazy-job"), start = CoroutineStart.LAZY) {
        }
    }

    @AfterTest
    fun cleanup() {
        parent.cancel()
    }

    @Test
    fun test(): Unit = runBlocking(CoroutineName("blocking")) {
        parent.complete()
        parent.join()
    }
}

The reason is that the lazy job didn't start so the parent will never complete. The first idea is to force a recursive children startup at parent completion.

Also, remember about #1544 as well since they are connected.
