Problem: Often times in a project, the front end and backend are being developed
simultaneously. The architecture frequently places heavy use on the AsyncToken
as a way to handle these remote operations. 

Goal: I wanted a solution that would require minimal interference to migrate from an offline
testing mode, to an online mode - once the backend was ready. 

Solution: The OfflineAsyncToken allows you to set the result property directly. 
So you can test your system with fake values. And then immediately swap out the 
offline version for the real AsyncToken.

The offline version assumes that the result property is set near the instantiation of 
the Class. When responder's are added, it immediately calls the result method on that 
responder.
