Feature Request: Implement NSURLSession for file Uploads/Downloads (iOS7+)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
- uploads/downloads can be cancelled when the App is terminated 
- uploads/downloads can be cancelled when entering the lock screen in certain 
situations (ex: going to the lock screen while the app is in the foreground)
- uploads/downloads can be delayed until a background fetch occurs (especially 
problematic for large files that take over 10 minutes to download)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- Using NSURLSession would ensure downloads occur regardless of the App's state 
(in the foreground, background, or terminated).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
- Google-API-Client/Drive 0.1 via CocoaPods
- iOS 8.1

Please provide any additional information below.
I'm unsure if this should be placed here or in the GTM: HTTP Fetcher project

There is already an NSURLSession-based fetcher, and the API library can be 
built to use it by setting the GTM_USE_SESSION_FETCHER flag.

Unfortunately, we've not had time to document the new fetcher, and we're still 
actively developing (and debugging) it.
