Support NSURLSessionDataTask in background sessions

Product:iOS SDK Product Version:7
Classification:Enhancement Reproducible:Yes
 
Summary:
NSURLSessionDownloadTask can not be used in the background for apps that want to handle the download stream directly, for example for encrypting it on-the-fly and then writing to a file.
This could be done if NSURLSessionDataTask simply was allowed in the background, or if there was some way to specify a block handler to handle the data as it is received by the system.
