feat: [torrust#978] add a config option to disable cheking keys' expi…

…ration

When the tracker is running in private mode you can disable checking
keys' expiration in the configuration with:

```toml
[core]
private = false

[core.private_mode]
check_keys_expiration = true
```

All keys will be valid as long as they exist in the database.
