This updates the leader lock implementation so that it's no longer sensitive to
differences in system clock on Tasques servers.
It does this by making non-Leaders eagerly try to gain leadership after sleeping
for the leader lock period.
Changes:
not leader, then waits for the leader lock lease period, and sets
mode to USURPER
likely existing leader); go into CHECKER mode and re-loop.
lease period, which non-leaders will wait for before trying to USURP.
This allows config changes for leader_lock_lease to be rolled out
to servers incrementally without suddenly changing wait time on the original
leader.
