 *    and opened instance to communicate to the Helper process and the given
 *    Progress object.
 *
 *  The user function is supposed to communicate to the helper process
 *  using the \a aClient argument to do the requested job and optionally expose
 *  the progress through the \a aProgress object. The user function should never
 *  call notifyComplete() on it: this will be done automatically using the
 *  result code returned by the function.
 *
 *  Before the user function is started, the communication channel passed to
 *  the \a aClient argument is fully set up, the function should start using
 *  its write() and read() methods directly.
 *
 *  The \a aVrc parameter of the user function may be used to return an error
 *  code if it is related to communication errors (for example, returned by
 *  the SVCHlpClient members when they fail). In this case, the correct error
 *  message using this value will be reported to the caller. Note that the
 *  value of \a aVrc is inspected only if the user function itself returns
 *  success.
 *
 *  If a failure happens anywhere before the user function would be normally
 *  called, it will be called anyway in special "cleanup only" mode indicated
 *  by \a aClient, \a aProgress and \aVrc arguments set to NULL. In this mode,
 *  all the function is supposed to do is to cleanup its aUser argument if
 *  necessary (it's assumed that the ownership of this argument is passed to
 *  the user function once #startSVCHelperClient() returns a success, thus
 *  making it responsible for the cleanup).
 *
 *  After the user function returns, the thread will send the SVCHlpMsg::Null
