[Feature] Match 1 vs 1 with time bank

Hello.

I would like to propose a new feature.
Match between two players with a time bank.

In my opinion it should be availabe when you challenge a player.
After first game is finished there should be 30s max to start a next game otherwise game should start automatically.

For example.
Time bank: 60 min. Time control: 3+0.
This sounds similar to playing in a tournament, but having only 2 players and allowing rematch pairings.

Recently I tested this option and there are few problems:
1. there is 25-30 seconds delay between games (time to get new pairings) - and this could be acceptable
2. when last player pause his participation tournament is automatically finished

If both players want to play fully match it's fine. But if the match is part of long-term tournament it will be problematic.
Player who won first game can simply pause and he will be signed as tournament winner.

I want to create something similar to lichess4545 - external long-term tournament. Players will be playing matches with time bank. And this feature will help a lot.
I hate players who escape after one lost. Of course it could be a option, nobody is forcing anyone to play in this mode.

I like this "one on one ring"
It could be in time or numbers of games played.

I prefer match witch numbers of games played and i like this idea lichess.org/forum/lichess-feedback/simple-suggestion#8
