Query of Notaries should stop when policy fulfilled #33

When a policy (quorum) has been fulfilled, we can stop querying notaries (potentially avoiding being in a timeout/hang situation). This implies a method to cancel an outstanding query.

If one is mixing queries to Perspective notaries and Google Certificate Catalog (see Issue #1) one would want an aysnc interface to both so that any policy evaluation could be done across both services.

Marking important because when a Notary is down, this could really speed things up.
