Offers a IPushProducer interface to a caching session. It starts producing data from the specified point.

If the data is already cached by the session, it produce data with a reactor loop reading the data from the session by block.

If the data is not yet cached, it starts a request using the request manager and pipeline the data to the specified consumer.

It can recover request failures up to MAX_RESUME_COUNT times.

It's not used yet in the context of http-server. Until now, the simulations show that using a producer with long-lived HTTP requests instead of short lived block request is less efficient and produce bigger latency for the clients. At least when used with HTTP proxies.
