GET /config/server/tasks/
Lists the tasks from the background work queues that the Gerrit daemon is currently performing, or will perform in the near future.

End-users may see a task only if they can also see the project the task is associated with. Tasks operating on other projects, or that do not have a specific project, are hidden.
The caller must be a member of a group that is granted one of the following capabilities:
As result a list of TaskInfo entities is returned.
The entries in the list are sorted by task state, remaining delay and command.
