KUDU-2149: avoid election stacking by restoring failure monitor semantics

Prior to commit 21b0f3d, the dedicated failure monitor thread invoked
RaftConsensus::StartElection() synchronously, thus preventing it from
surfacing additional failures during that time. This patch attempts to
restore these semantics by short-circuiting and ignoring any failures
detected while a Raft thread is in StartElection().

This is a super targeted fix geared towards a point release; a more correct
fix would be to completely disable failure detection while an election is
running, but that'll require more work.

Originally I had written a test that injects latency into
ConsensusMetadata::Flush(), toggles the fix, and compares the number of vote
request RPCs. I couldn't get it to be totally robust, and the "feature flag"
used in the toggle is likely to become obselete quickly. So in the end I
decided to drop the test from the patch.
