queue.add options gets overriden by defaultJobOptions

[otaviosoares]

I have a code like the following and I expected the options passed to queue.add to have priority over queue's defaultJobOptions. However, as for now, if you have an option on defaultJobOptions it will always override anything you have in your add call. This was very confusing and it took me some time to figure out why it wasn't working.

const queue = new Queue('test', {
  defaultJobOptions: {delay: 10000 } 
});
queue.add('job', {}, { delay: 1000 });

We have the same issue. Default job options are being treated as 'mandatory' job options, which is semantically incorrect

The regression was introduced here: ac2fc51#diff-afa7a0a70da4b0fa42349adcdb862c6f079f980b4051ca651d929290f34a29c7L706-R705

A temporary workaround is to revert back to bull 3.15.x, but you might have to deal with bugs that were fixed in newer branches
