Migrate background job processing from Oban to Exq

- Replace Oban dependency with Exq for Redis-based background jobs
- Update PacketCleanupWorker to use Exq's perform/1 signature
- Add CleanupScheduler GenServer for periodic job scheduling
- Configure Exq with Redis connection and queue settings
- Update tests to work with Exq job format
- Maintain 6-hour packet cleanup schedule functionality
