As a consumer of Vitess messages, it is currently impossible to know whether or not a message has expired or is about to expire. This PR provides a backwards compatible way for the actual message expiration time to be sent with the query results as a special cased pseudo field, configured with a table level comment.
While in the code, I also added the ability to set min and max backoff durations for exponential backoff. After enough attempts, message attempts can get pushed out for days, which is usually undesirable.
If this approach is acceptable, I'll go ahead and add tests.
