Feature: TTL for job waiting in the queue

[royalpinto]

Description

Would be nice to an option on job to set the TTL after which it will be remove from the queue if it cannot be picked by the worker by then.

A rough example would be: Job to send an OTP must be valid only for few seconds, after which should be auto cancelled/removed.

You can easily accomplish this functionality by checking the timestamp in the job and just discarding it or something:

const TTL = 30_000;
const worker = new Worker('test', {...}, (job) => {
  if((Date.now() - job.timestamp) > TTL){
    return;
  }
  ...
})
