Summary:
For proper client interaction, we need to expose the (term_id, log_index)
pair for the transaction that's about to be replicated and we need to be able
to retrieve the status of a transaction defined by that pair. Transaction
status can be one of the following:
1) REPLICATED (self-explanatory)
2) WAITING (waiting for replication)
3) ABORTED (self-explanatory)
4) INVALID (received request with either invalid term_id or invalid log_index)

Summary:
During it's leadership, one peer can receive RPC messages from other peers that his reign is over.
The problem is when this happens during a transaction commit.
This is handled in the following way.
If we're the current leader and we want to commit a transaction, we need to make sure the Raft Log is replicated before we can tell the client that the transaction is committed.
During that wait, we can only notice that the replication takes too long, and we report that with `LOG(WARNING)` messages.
If we change the Raft mode during the wait, our Raft implementation will internally commit this transaction, but won't be able to acquire the Raft lock because the `db.Reset` has been called.
This is why there is an manual lock acquire. If we pick up that the `db.Reset` has been called, we throw an `UnexpectedLeaderChangeException` exception to the client.
Another thing with long running transactions, if someone decides to kill a `memgraph_ha` instance during the commit, the transaction will have `abort` hint set. This will cause the `src/query/operator.cpp` to throw a `HintedAbortError`. We need to catch this during the shutdown, because the `memgraph_ha` isn't dead from the user perspective, and the transaction wasn't aborted because it took too long, but we can differentiate between those two.

Summary:
Created a new integration test for Raft protocol.
The tests iterates through the Raft cluster and does the following:
* kill machine `X`
* execute a query
* bring `X` back to life
The first step is to insert a vertex in the cluster, and last step is to check
if the cluster has all the data.
I also edited some of the raft core files because this test surafaced some bugs.
The `tester` binary is a hacked version of the HA client and so are the parts in
the code that refuse to execute a query is the machine is not in `Leader` mode.o
Those parts will go away once we have a proper HA client.
I've run the `runner.py` for a while (215 times)
```
while ./runner.py &> log.txt; do echo -n "."; done
```
and it didn't break.

Summary:
TransactionReplicator replicates transactions on follower machines in
HA memgraph. Our DB accessor API doesn't provide us with the functionality to
begin transactions with non-increasing ids. This is why the
`TransactionReplicator` uses a internal map that maps tx ids from the leader
node to transactions on the follower node (whose id doesn't have to match the
leaders tx id).
If the leader has the following transaction timeline:
```
L
tx1
|
| tx2
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| tx2
|
|
|
|
tx1
```
`tx2` will commit first and will be replicated. When applying `tx2` on follower
nodes, they will start a new transaction with tx id `1`. When `tx1` starts
replicating, followers will start a new transaction with tx id `2`. And this is
wehre `TransactionReplicator` kicks in.

Summary:
This is just the first diff that tries to wire the raft protocol into
memgraph.
In this diff I'm introducing transaction engine reset functionality. I also
introduced `RaftInterface` which should be used wherever someone wants to access
Raft from Memgraph.
For design decisions see the feature spec.
