Backport 4/4 commits from #133169 on behalf of @nvanbenschoten.

/cc @cockroachdb/release


Informs #125352.

This commit adds setters for the HardState fields (Term, Vote, lead, leadEpoch), allowing us to assert that these fields are only modified in expected ways.

Some bugs that this change could catch:

  • term regressions
  • vote changes
  • lead changes in a single term
  • leadEpoch regressions

The "lead changes in a single term" class of bugs is especially interesting, as we have found two of these in this thread: https://cockroachlabs.slack.com/archives/G01G8LK77DK/p1720274557285239. These are tracked in the following issues, which we may need to address ASAP:

The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th commits in the PR address these issues in raft by not assuming that a MsgSnap as always coming from the leader of Message.Term.

Release note: None


Release justification: needed for leader leases.

Thanks for opening a backport.

Please check the backport criteria before merging:

  • Backports should only be created for serious
    issues
    or test-only changes.
  • Backports should not break backwards-compatibility.
  • Backports should change as little code as possible.
  • Backports should not change on-disk formats or node communication protocols.
  • Backports should not add new functionality (except as defined
    here).
  • Backports must not add, edit, or otherwise modify cluster versions; or add version gates.
  • All backports must be reviewed by the owning areas TL. For more information as to how that review should be conducted, please consult the backport
    policy
    .
If your backport adds new functionality, please ensure that the following additional criteria are satisfied:
  • There is a high priority need for the functionality that cannot wait until the next release and is difficult to address in another way.
  • The new functionality is additive-only and only runs for clusters which have specifically “opted in” to it (e.g. by a cluster setting).
  • New code is protected by a conditional check that is trivial to verify and ensures that it only runs for opt-in clusters. State changes must be further protected such that nodes running old binaries will not be negatively impacted by the new state (with a mixed version test added).
  • The PM and TL on the team that owns the changed code have signed off that the change obeys the above rules.
  • Your backport must be accompanied by a post to the appropriate Slack
    channel (#db-backports-point-releases or #db-backports-XX-X-release) for awareness and discussion.

Also, please add a brief release justification to the body of your PR to justify this
backport.
