Summary:
It would be nice if we were able to prevent a notification from displaying in our UNNotificationServiceExtension implementations. Currently, if I override the -didReceiveNotificationRequest:withContentHandler: method and pass nil to the contentHandler block, the original notification is displayed to the user. It would be useful if there was some parameter I could pass to the contentHandler that would prevent *any* notification from being displayed.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an app with a UNNotificationServiceExtension extension target
2. In the extension's override of -didReceiveNotificationRequest:withContentHandler: call the contentHandler and pass it nil for its argument
3. Send a push notification with the mutable-content field set to true

Expected Results:
No notification is displayed

Actual Results:
The original notification is displayed

Version:
iOS 10.1 (14B72)
