/**
* @brief A base class for background tasks running in Olive.
*
* Tasks are multithreaded by design (i.e. they will always spawn
* a new thread and run in it).
*
* To subclass your own Task, override Action() and return TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. Note that a Task can
* provide a "negative" output and still have succeeded. For example, the ProbeTask's role is to determine whether a
* certain media file can be used in Olive. Even if the probe *fails* to find a Decoder for this file, the Task itself
* has *succeeded* at discovering this. A failure of ProbeTask would indicate a catastrophic failure meaning it was
* unable to determine anything about the file.
*
* Tasks should be used with the TaskManager which will manage starting and deleting them. It'll also only start as
* many Tasks as there are threads on the system as to not overload them.
*
* Tasks support "dependency tasks", i.e. a Task that should be complete before another Task begins.
