Add dataTask that is similar to imageTask about nuke HOT 2 OPEN

Hey,

We want to add video streaming capabilities (video files are relatively small). We've implemented a solution that uses ImageTask.previews with a custom video decoder, which always decode partially downloaded. This solution uses ImageTask.previews.

It is a perfectly acceptable solution. ImageResponse is designed to hold data, and it is used this way in other scenarios as well, for example, for rendering animated images.

However, I believe it would be better to have a dedicated feature similar to ImageTask.previews, like DataTask and DataTask.partialData,

I considered this, but the public API in Nuke is already so large that I decided to keep the data support to the bare minimum, intentionally so.

Ideally, it would be great if your library supported video streaming and large videos. :D
