Job Queue using C# System.Threading.Channels

This project is about a thread-safe concurrent Job Queue using System.Threading.Channels and Background Services.

This includes implementing the following three controller actions in the JobsController:

• An endpoint to which clients can post a list of numbers to be sorted. The endpoint returns immediately, without requiring clients to wait for the jobs to complete.
• Returns the current state of a specific job.
• Return the current state of all jobs (both pending and completed).
