Backport Resolve "Geo: JWT token expiration too short"

Michael Kozono requested to merge cherry-pick-46dabe74-2 into 16-11-stable-ee

What does this MR do and why?

Describe in detail what merge request is being backported and why

Backports !154474 (merged) to %16.11.

Increase Geo's JWT expiration, in particular for large Git repositories with a lot of refs that take too long during the info/refs request phase of Git fetch. This is causing Geo replication authentication to fail for repos with too many refs.

Original issue: #464101 (closed)

Backport request issue: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/release/tasks/-/issues/11692

The problem is severe for customers who are affected. There isn't a reasonable workaround.
