If raft_become_candidate() assigns a negative value e (i.e., -election_timeout < e < 0) to timeout_elapsed, and if this replica successfully becomes the leader, then this leader won't send heartbeats for request_timeout - e milliseconds. This may be longer than election_timeout and cause an unnecessary leadership change. This patch zeroes timeout_elapsed in raft_become_leader(), randomizes election timeouts in [election_timeout, 2 * election_timeout), and fixes raft_recv_appendentries() to avoid zeroing timeout_elapsed if the AE request has an older term.
