Description of change
Previously, mountpoint-s3 would not cancel prefetch tasks that it was going to ignore. Instead, they would continue to be polled by the executor despite the results never being checked. This could mean up to two (current and at most one "next" GET) would continue to run after the prefetcher had forgotten about them. This change ensures that the task handles are dropped which cancels the task/future.
In the future, we may want to retain some of these tasks where the prefetcher may still be able to make use of them. This refers to the todo comment that is retained from before.
This change was recommended in #488 as a distinct but loosely related issue.
Does this change impact existing behavior?
No breaking changes. This should cancel unused GET requests, freeing up bandwidth for GETs that will be used to fulfill mount-s3 reads.
