Adds
Actor.startTask(taskId, input?, options?), both as an instance and a static method, next tocallTask(). It starts a task run and returns it without waiting for it to finish. Until now that meant callingActor.apifyClient.task(taskId).start()and losing the wrapper'stokenshortcut andtimeout: 'inherit'.The new
StartTaskOptionsis the client'sTaskStartOptionsminuswaitForFinishandrunTimeoutSecs, plusTokenandTimeout, the same wayStartOptionsis built forstart().Python counterpart: apify/apify-sdk-python#1164.
Closes: #764
