Do not ignore preventOverrun in CronJob

[boristian]

Fixes #195

[kibertoad]

@Hexagon Could you take a look at the failing tests? It looks like after the protect flag is enabled with the true value, it never gets released.

[boristian]

Any updates on this? Is something wrong with the PR?

[kibertoad]

@boristian yes, functionality appears to be broken on @Hexagon end

Hello! Cannot find anything wrong with croner, tested both croner@6.0.4 used by toad-scheduler, and croner@7.0.5 which is the latest iteration.

Tested using this code:

import { Cron } from "npm:croner@6.0.4";

// Demo blocking function
const blockForAWhile = (ms) => new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));

// (Optional) Callback to be triggered on a blocked call
const protectCallback = (job) => console.log(`Call at ${new Date().toISOString()} were blocked by call started at ${job.currentRun().toISOString()}`);

Cron(
    "*/2 * * * * *",
    { 
        protect: protectCallback // <- Using a callback for overrun protection, but `true` would work just as well
    }, 
    async (job) => {
        console.log(`Call started at ${job.currentRun().toISOString()} started`);
        await blockForAWhile(6000);
        console.log(`Call started at ${job.currentRun().toISOString()} finished ${new Date().toISOString()}`);
    }
);

With this output

@boristian @kibertoad Can you check the comments i made below?

    it('allows preventing CronJob execution overrun for async tasks', async () => {
      let counter = 0
      const scheduler = new ToadScheduler()
      const task = new AsyncTask('simple task', () => { // <- 1. The callback isn't flagged with async, is this correct?
        counter++
        advanceTimersByTime(6000) // Do this really delay the return of this async function?
