Add time/event control for tasks #3

SV tasks have the particularity that they consume simulation time. It should be possible to control the moment they unblock similar to how return values of functions can be controlled.

In some handwritten mocks, I did this by having the mocked out task block on an event that could be triggered from outside:

` do_stuff_that_calls_spawns_task_of_mock(); do_other_stuff_that_consumes_time(); -> mock.unblock_time_consuming_task; do_more_stuff_that_consumes_time();

// perform checks // ... `
