Request that this task cancel itself.
This arranges for a CancelledError to be thrown into the
wrapped coroutine on the next cycle through the event loop.
The coroutine then has a chance to clean up or even deny
the request using try/except/finally.
Unlike Future.cancel, this does not guarantee that the
task will be cancelled: the exception might be caught and
acted upon, delaying cancellation of the task or preventing
cancellation completely. The task may also return a value or
raise a different exception.
Immediately after this method is called, Task.cancelled() will
not return True (unless the task was already cancelled). A
task will be marked as cancelled when the wrapped coroutine
terminates with a CancelledError exception (even if cancel()
was not called).
This also increases the task's count of cancellation requests.
