Provide a method of matching TaskExecution objects

[alpaix]

Problem

The extended task API introduced a new concept of task executions. When executeTask method is called it returns a TaskExecution instance I'd wanted to keep for later. Then after the task terminates it raises onDidEndTask event with another TaskExecution instance attached to it which I cannot match against the first instance I kept as they are not ===.

Suggestion

Provide a method of matching task execution objects or giving it a unique ID or similar.

One more request is to provide a query to fetch all task executions. Is it possible to add to the API?

@alpaix I will look into making the task execution object ===.

Can you please open another issue for the query. Makes it easier for me to track and close.
