Helper functions to create a task in a specific section in Asana

asana.py

# The current Asana Python client does not seem to support task creation in a given section.
# The API documentation is also somewhat lacking, and there's some conflicting instructions on various forums.
# After a bit of searching + trial and error, I figured out how to do it using the requests library.
# I'm posting these helper functions here for anyone who may need them in the future.
