add support for ttl parameter to sensu_check

[dmizelle]

SUMMARY

Sensu Check Definitions support the definition of a "time to live" for a check result. Ansible doesn't actually support setting it.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

A tl;dr version is that if the sensu server doesnt see this check come back in x number of seconds, it turns it into alert.

It is perfect for making sure that checks don't "disappear" from hosts, but Ansible does not support defining it.

Also this is labelled as affects_2.4, but it really affects every ansible release where sensu_check is present, I guess. It'd be really really nice to have this backported to 2.2, 2.3, etc.

Closing because #24184 is better (and I trust @dmsimard more than myself)
