Description
In the documentation it says that if a test is not in an xdist_group, that it defaults to the load behaviour.
Would it be possible to choose the default behaviour so it could be something like worksteal?

Research direction
Start with the distribution documentation linked in the issue and trace how an ungrouped test currently selects the load behavior. Find the scheduler configuration entry point and existing tests for xdist_group and scheduling modes; done should include a supported way to choose worksteal as the default and coverage for the resulting behavior.
