In 3.2 it should be possible, using a subclass of
QgsProcessingLayerPostProcessorInterface and

    context.layerToLoadOnCompletionDetails( output_dest_id
).setPostProcessor( my_layer_post_processor() )

Your QgsProcessingLayerPostProcessorInterface subclass would set the
style for the layer in its postProcessLayer implementation.

This is the canonical, thread safe way to do this in processing... any
other approach (and there's other hacky ways to do this) will not be
thread safe and may crash! We probably should make this a bit easier
and have a direct `context.layerToLoadOnCompletionDetails(
output_dest_id ).setLayerStyle(..... )` call, but it's too late for
3.2....
