 When a data export or removal request is created, a user must confirm that
 request within x days. By default, this is 1 day (24 hours), but it can be
 changed using the `user_request_key_expiration` filter. If a user does not
 confirm the request within that time, it is marked as failed, and the
 request needs to be re-initiated.

 Currently, requests are only marked as failed when the Export/Erase
 Personal Data screens are accessed. By default, only administrators can
 access this page, and will most likely do so very infrequently. Because of
 this, a cron may be more appropriate for marking requests as failed.

 A `posts_per_page => -1` query arg is also used to fetch expired requests,
 which could cause issues when a large number of requests have failed.
 Moving this action to a cron should cut down on the number of requests
 that need to be transitioned at a time.
