Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**

It would be good if you could specify the duration of time you would like the login token to be valid for. For our use at least, the result of `.createCustomToken` is mostly used immediately after being provided to the client, so we'd like to have a very short expiry time.

**Describe the solution you'd like**

Update `.createCustomToken` or a new method `.createCustomTokenWithOptions` that takes an expiry.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**

Using the details from [create custom tokens using a third-party JWT library](https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/admin/create-custom-tokens#create_custom_tokens_using_a_third-party_jwt_library), but this seems a bit redundant when the SDK is so close to providing what is needed.
