shouldWithholdVotes() should be triggered for handling higher term

 

Current code is 

```

 if (state.getCurrentTerm() < candidateTerm) {
 return false;
 } else if (isLeader()) {
 return true;
 } else {
 // following a leader and not yet timeout

Modify to 

```

private boolean shouldWithholdVotes(long candidateTerm) {
 if (state.getCurrentTerm() >= candidateTerm) {
 return false;
 } else if (isLeader()) {
 return true;
 } else {
 // following a leader and not yet timeout
 return isFollower() && state.hasLeader()
 && 
role.getFollowerState().map(FollowerState::shouldWithholdVotes).orElse(false);
 }
}
