Title: Add helper methods for obtain task info and state (on results module).

Add a simple way for obtain task info and task state.

This helpers removes the boilerplate of continuously creating instance of AsyncResult and obtain a info and state with their properties.

I know that you can access it from backend, but that adds a layer of abstraction and think it's better to have these methods.
