    Create a FastAPI application with endpoints for posting, getting, and running jobs.

    This function sets up a FastAPI application with three endpoints:

    - POST /job: To post a job to the NorFab service.
    - GET /job: To get job results from the NorFab service.
    - POST /job/run: To run a job and return job results synchronously.

    Each endpoint requires a bearer token for authentication, which is validated
    against the worker's token database.

    Args:
        worker (object): An object representing the worker that will handle the job requests.
        config (dict): A dictionary of configuration options for the FastAPI application.
