Description
The current schema is:
AFNetworking thread => Main thread => MXRestClient processingQueue thread => Main thread
By using AFURLSessionManager.completionQueue, it could be:
AFNetworking thread => MXRestClient processingQueue thread => Main thread
If the sdk user defines a MXRestClient.completionQueue, it could even be:
AFNetworking thread => MXRestClient.completionQueue thread

Research direction
Start by tracing MXRestClient's HTTP response handling and how AFURLSessionManager.completionQueue is configured. Compare the current queue sequence with the proposed sequences; done means unnecessary main-thread switching is removed and a user-defined MXRestClient.completionQueue is respected.
