Added documentation for privilege escalation techniques using Google Cloud Tasks service. Cloud Tasks is often compared to Pub/Sub and is widely used in modern applications.
Since we already have Pub/Sub coverage, it makes sense to include Tasks as well.

While the actAs and setIamPolicy examples are not particularly unique, they serve as useful copy-paste cheat sheets for penetration testers.
The tasks.run retry abuse has
limited exploitation scenarios, but it's worth documenting since it doesn't require particularly strong permissions.
