Expose setting of phi in the FailureDetector
--------------------------------------------

                 Key: CASSANDRA-1053
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1053
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 0.6
            Reporter: Brandon Williams
            Priority: Trivial


I've seen some users, always on cloud platforms, say that they have problems 
with hosts flapping in the FD.  GC is not the cause.  I know of at least one 
production deployment where they are already hacking phi to 10 to get around 
the flapping problems.

This is a dangerous thing to expose, however, since giving meaning to the 
difference of 8 and 10 here is hard to quantify to someone unfamiliar with the 
inner workings.  Perhaps we can allow setting it in the config, but not specify 
a default and leave it commented out with a big fat warning.
