[MM-63557] mmctl: Add compliance export create cmd (#30594)

* Refactor job retrieval to support multiple statuses & multiple types

- Updated job retrieval functions to handle multiple job statuses.
- Renamed `GetJobsByTypeAndStatus` to `GetJobsByTypesAndStatuses` for consistency across the codebase.
- Adjusted related function signatures and implementations in the job store and retry layer to accommodate the new method.
- Updated tests to reflect changes in job retrieval logic and ensure proper functionality.

* Add compliance export create command and tests

- Introduced `ComplianceExportCreateCmd` to facilitate the creation of compliance export jobs with options for date, start, and end timestamps.
- Added unit tests for the new command, covering various scenarios including valid and invalid inputs.
- Updated documentation to include usage examples and options for the new command.
- Enhanced existing tests to ensure proper functionality of compliance export job handling.

* update docs

* update tests for new logic

* Refactor message export job tests to use DefaultPreviousJobPageSize

- Updated all test cases in worker_test.go to replace hardcoded page size of 100 with DefaultPreviousJobPageSize for consistency.
- Adjusted the worker.go file to define DefaultPreviousJobPageSize and use it in job retrieval logic.
- Ensured that the changes maintain the functionality of job data initialization and retrieval tests.

* PR comments

* PR comments, simplifications, clarifications, formatting

* prefer hypen over underscore in command names

* merge conflict

* update mmctl docs

+mmctl compliance-export create
+------------------------------
+
+Create a compliance export job, of type 'csv' or 'actiance' or 'globalrelay'
+
+Synopsis
+~~~~~~~~
+
+
+Create a compliance export job, of type 'csv' or 'actiance' or 'globalrelay'. If --date is set, the job will run for one day, from 12am to 12am (minus one millisecond) inclusively, in the format with timezone offset: `"YYYY-MM-DD -0000"`. E.g., "2024-10-21 -0400" for Oct 21, 2024 EDT timezone. "2023-11-01 +0000" for Nov 01, 2024 UTC. If set, the 'start' and 'end' flags will be ignored.
+
+Important: Running a compliance export job from mmctl will NOT affect the next scheduled job's batch_start_time. This means that if you run a compliance export job from mmctl, the next scheduled job will run from the batch_end_time of the previous scheduled job, as usual.
+

+
+Examples

+
+::
+
+  compliance-export create csv --date "2025-03-27 -0400"
+
+Options
+~~~~~~~
+
+::
+
+      --date "YYYY-MM-DD -0000"   Run the export for one day, from 12am to 12am (minus one millisecond) inclusively, in the format with timezone offset: "YYYY-MM-DD -0000". E.g., `"2024-10-21 -0400"` for Oct 21, 2024 EDT timezone. `"2023-11-01 +0000"` for Nov 01, 2024 UTC. If set, the 'start' and 'end' flags will be ignored.
+      --end 1743134400000         The end timestamp in unix milliseconds. Posts with updateAt <= end will be exported. If set, 'start' must be set as well. eg, 1743134400000 for 2025-03-28 EDT.
+  -h, --help                      help for create
+      --start 1743048000000       The start timestamp in unix milliseconds. Posts with updateAt >= start will be exported. If set, 'end' must be set as well. eg, 1743048000000 for 2025-03-27 EDT.

+      --disable-pager                disables paged output
+      --insecure-sha1-intermediate   allows to use insecure TLS protocols, such as SHA-1
+      --insecure-tls-version         allows to use TLS versions 1.0 and 1.1
+      --json                         the output format will be in json format
