Update lock timeout in ElasticCommitIndexerWorker to 1 day

What does this MR do?

This lock prevents indexing the same project twice in parallel which is a big problem. The lock will clear itself when the job finishes but you need a timeout since the lock lives in Redis and the process may crash before it can clear the lock.

We chose 1 hour originally since we assumed this was enough time to finish indexing any project but we've found from several customer tickets #323856 (closed) that some very large projects are taking longer than an hour to finish indexing. Increasing this to 1 day probably will dramatically reduce the risk of 2 projects indexing at the same time while still providing a reasonable timeout in the rare event the process crashes and can't clean up the lock.
