OEP-3: Asynchronous Task Management

[Jeremy Bowman]

OEP-3 has been in review for more than a month, with no new feedback since June 22nd.  Please speak up by Monday if you have any concerns or general feedback, and we'll merge shortly thereafter otherwise. https://github.com/edx/open-edx-proposals/pull/6

Abstract from the OEP:

Proposes a system which allows users to initiate, monitor, and retrieve the results of various long-running tasks in a consistent manner.  This system leverages existing libraries where practical and makes the development of new asynchronous tasks straightforward.
