I think we need it here because if we are getting here then the zxid of
this server must be -1, so it would not win leader election if at least one
other server is sane (with valid snapshot/txn log to recover.), so this server
will become a follow and sync the (none empty) snapshot from the leader. If all
servers have empty snapshots then this save is also required to bootstrap the
recover process.
