optional FIFO queue on workflow job events queue

[joemiller]

I have been experimenting with the optional "workflow job events queue" (enable_workflow_job_events_queue = true) for generating metrics. I am attempting to capture the queued, in_progress, completed events and increment prom gauges. One goal with these metrics is to have a near realtime dashboard of how many jobs are sitting queued or running. But the accuracy of the numbers so far is not very good. I'm wondering if creating the SQS queue as a FIFO queue might help the matter.

Is there any reason this queue should not be a FIFO queue? If not, I'd be happy to pull together a PR to add a variable.
