This tests the mock but is missing the test for the CancellableDataTask struct.

Hey there,
while browsing through the code base I noticed that at the moment it is impossible to cancel any network requests, although this is something that needs to happen rather often in mobile applications (reachability etc).
I thought about a way to sensibly return the requests without exposing implementation details of the networking layer to any module integrators and went with protocols (yay). This way we can don't need to expose the URLSessionDataTask objects themselves but only expose a protocol that has a single
cancel()function. Tl;Dr: even though the networking code might change at some point, the integrator will still only receive any object conforming to the protocol. I think this is the cleanest solution for this.Most importantly: the return value is discardable (thanks to
@discardableResult) and will not change anything for current integrators.
