Task HeartBeats Extensions

TaskHeartBeatExample.cs

private static async Task PerformHeartbeat(CancellationToken cancellationToken) {
    Console.WriteLine("Starting heartbeat {0}", ++_heartbeatCount);
    await Task.Delay(1000, cancellationToken);
    Console.WriteLine("Finishing heartbeat {0}", _heartbeatCount);
}

The PerformHeartbeat could be replaced with an async call like RenewLockAsync so that you wouldn't 
have to waste thread time using a blocking call like RenewLock that the Action approach would require.
