(Mono C#) Async SFTP Progress Info

Demonstrates checking for progress info updates when running a task asynchronously. This example demonstrates an SFTP download.

// background thread pool scheduler.  

// If the task was "aborted", it indicates that it was canceled while running in a background thread.  
// The ResultErrorText will likely indicate that the task was aborted.

// If the task "completed", then it ran to completion, but the actual success/failure of the method
// is determined by the result obtained via a GetResult* method.  (A "completed" task will
// have a StatusInt equal to 7.   If the task finished, but was not completed, then it must've
