Hello,

This PR implements optional and configurable enforcement of the timeout-minutes field on Jobs. I'm aware that actionlint intends to limit the amount of configuration available, but feel this is a valid use case - as do others supporting it in issue #49. Regarding the maintainer's concerns around making such an implementation too opinionated, I hope that this approach can address.

In the past I have consumed actionlint as a package into my own CLI and added the rule via the options, which worked great. However, I would like to see this out-the-box. It is particularly useful, for example, when adding actionlint to a required workflow via GitHub Rulesets. We can auto generate a config in the shared Workflow that checks that all jobs have the timeout-minutes field set, thus avoiding blowing up our Organisation's minutes budget.

I believe the approach gives users the functionality that we want (particularly in corporate organisations), but without getting in the way of the tool's current use - similarly to the configurable runner labels.
