Add long polling capability for HTTP store

Do you have a use case? Do you know an HTTP config store that would do this? It would be very useful for testing.

A use case I am looking at is scenarios where you are long polling a endpoint waiting for a data return: in my case it is camunda.org. Where you are long polling the camunda engine for "external tasks", where vertx is a worker. Since making this issue, camunda created their own http client wrapper with long polling abilities so the need is lessened on my side. But the generic use case still stands

If you want this for worker tasks, is this appropriate for the vertx-config module? Surely this would be something you use web-client for to poll and pass work to your workers from there?
