[FEATURE]: Add Support for Maximum Application Attempts Per Company

[moudimash99]

Feature summary

Introduce a configurable maximum number of applications per company, allowing users to specify limits like 5 applications to Google instead of just a boolean option.

Feature description

Currently, the bot offers a binary option (apply_once_at_company: true/false) to either apply once or indefinitely to the same company. This proposed feature introduces a more flexible system where users can define a specific maximum number of applications per company. For example, users could configure the bot to apply to Google up to 5 times but still apply indefinitely to other companies.

This feature would involve:

Updating the work_preferences.yaml file to accept numeric values for apply_once_at_company.
Implementing logic to track and limit applications based on the specified number.

Motivation

Provides users with better control over application strategies by avoiding over-applying to specific companies.

Hey @moudimash99 , can you also take this #832 as both are closely related.

[surapuramakhil]

feel free to introduce DB if required (considering other proposals etc) - suggest going with simple light weight SQLite if doesn't satisfy needs then go for bigger - MySQL, Postgres etc.

[moudimash99]

Yeah I think that'll be the next thing I'm going to take, with them both moving forward. We'll need surely a time limit as applying to a company multiple times is only relevant in a time frame. I was thinking of using the current architecture,are there other features that are or will be using a DB as that might be interesting moving forward for even other features
