jwt: allow setting a custom expiry time for JWT tokens

The current implementation of JWS/JWT in this package uses a fixed
1 hour expiry time for JWT tokens.

Some services do not accept such a long expiry time, e.g. Salesforce,
which defaults to a 5 minute expiry.
https://help.salesforce.com/HTViewHelpDoc?id=remoteaccess_oauth_jwt_flow.htm

This change adds an Expires time.Duration property to the jwt.Config
struct that, if set, will be used to calculate the jws.ClaimSet Exp property.
It allows a custom expiry to be set on a JWT token.

This change is backward compatible and will revert to previous behaviour if
the Expires property is not set.

Fixes golang/oauth2#151
