Limit the number of featured jobs

[davoraltman]

Add an option to limit the number of featured jobs as an argument for the [jobs] shortcode. Currently, you can only limit the number of featured jobs in a featured jobs widget.

@davoraltman I don't see an easy way to treat, for example, the most recent 5 featured jobs as featured jobs and the rest as regular jobs. This would require us to run multiple queries for every page load and complicate the pagination for [jobs]. We would also need to figure out a way to display extra featured listings as non-featured when they did show up in the listing results.

Is this a frequently requested feature? I'll keep it open for a future release if we think it is necessary.

Thanks @jom ! I've encountered this request once or twice maybe. It would be a nice addition so I wouldn't discard it yet! :)

Would the ones that got bumped from the top be shown as regular listings? We'd probably need to schedule this on a major release as it may involve updating templates for this.

[davoraltman]

Good point. I am not sure whether the bumped ones should be hidden or displayed as regular listings. We'll iterate on this.

Closing, but will use to inform design of block (Replacing the shortcode) in #1287.
