SOLR-13486: Fix trivial test bug in TestTlogReplayVsRecovery

Add TODOs for future test improvements once underlying race condition is fixed 
in core code


> race condition between leader's "replay on startup" and non-leader's "recover 
> from leader" can leave replicas out of sync (TestTlogReplayVsRecovery)

> There is a bug in solr cloud that can result in replicas being out of sync 
> with the leader if:
>  * The leader has uncommitted docs (in the tlog) that didn't make it to the 
> replica
>  * The leader restarts
>  * The replica begins to peer sync from the leader before the leader finishes 
> it's own tlog replay on startup
> A "rolling restart" situation is when this is most likeley to affect real 
> world users
> This was first discovered via hard to reproduce TestCloudConsistency failures 
> in jenkins, but that test has since been modified to work around this bug, 
> and a new test "TestTlogReplayVsRecovery" has been added that more 
> aggressively demonstrates this error.
> Original jira description below...
> ----
> I've been investigating some jenkins failures from TestCloudConsistency, 
> which at first glance suggest a problem w/replica(s) recovering after a 
> network partition from the leader - but in digging into the logs the root 
> cause acturally seems to be a thread race conditions when a replica (the 
> leader) is first registered...
>  * The {{ZkContainer.registerInZk(...)}} method (which is called by 
> {{CoreContainer.registerCore(...)}} & {{CoreContainer.load()}}) is typically 
> run in a background thread (via the {{ZkContainer.coreZkRegister}} 
> ExecutorService)
>  * {{ZkContainer.registerInZk(...)}} delegates to 
> {{ZKController.register(...)}} which is ultimately responsible for checking 
> if there are any "old" tlogs on disk, and if so handling the "Replaying tlog 
> for <URL> during startup" logic
>  * Because this happens in a background thread, other logic/requests can be 
> handled by this core/replica in the meantime - before it starts (or while in 
> the middle of) replaying the tlogs
>  ** Notably: *leader's that have not yet replayed tlogs on startup will 
> erroneously respond to RTG / Fingerprint / PeerSync requests from other 
> replicas w/incomplete data*
> ...In general, it seems scary / fishy to me that a replica can (aparently) 
> become *ACTIVE* before it's finished it's {{registerInZk}} + "Replaying tlog 
> ... during startup" logic ... particularly since this can happen even for 
> replicas that are/become leaders. It seems like this could potentially cause 
> a whole host of problems, only one of which manifests in this particular test 
> failure:
>  * *BEFORE* replicaX's "coreZkRegister" thread reaches the "Replaying tlog 
> ... during startup" check:
>  ** replicaX can recognize (via zk terms) that it should be the leader(X)
>  ** this leaderX can then instruct some other replicaY to recover from it
>  ** replicaY can send RTG / PeerSync / FetchIndex requests to the leaderX 
> (either on it's own volition, or because it was instructed to by leaderX) in 
> an attempt to recover
>  *** the responses to these recovery requests will not include updates in the 
> tlog files that existed on leaderX prior to startup that hvae not yet been 
> replayed
>  * *AFTER* replicaY has finished it's recovery, leaderX's "Replaying tlog ... 
> during startup" can finish
>  ** replicaY now thinks it is in sync with leaderX, but leaderX has 
> (replayed) updates the other replicas know nothing about
