data without "payload" property

[trx222]

Hi. Is There a way to add the job data without the property "payload" ? This makes it possibly incompatible if you want to use this library together with others that puts data objects ( or pure strings ? ) directly to the job contents.

If I spawn a job with the lib it looks like this:

{
    "payload":{
        "ax":"xyz"
    }
}

but I expect it like this:

{
     "ax":"xyz"
}

Code is from your example:

worker.spawn(tube, {
  ax: "xyz" // job payload/values
}, {
  delay: 0,
  priority: 1000,
  timeout: 10 * 60 * 1000 // ms
}).then(function (job) {
  console.log(job.id);
});

We wrap the object here: https://github.com/burstable/node-beanstalkd-worker/blob/master/src/spawn.js#L31

There was some reason for this, originally, years ago - Perhaps to carry across arbitrary options.
Looking at the code I don't believe this is necessary anymore, we could do away with the payload key but we'd have to do a major release since this might be a breaking change.
