Add clock skew to JWT validation

Currently the validate operation of the Decoder.addOperation() function of the JWT module (jwt module - IBM Documentation) does not use or support a clock skew. This will cause sporadic false positive validation failures, which are not acceptable.

Thus we curently cannot use this built-in validation functionality. Instead we must code the validation logic for 'nbf' and 'exp' claims by hand.

This proposal is to add support for a clock skew parameter, which will consider the clock skew when validating the 'nbf' and 'exp' claims.

This blog describes why clock skew is important in JWT validation, and also states that it is industry standard to include a 5 second clock skew: JWT clock skew: why your tokens expire before they should — Bastionary Blog
