Hello Kudu Jenkins,

I'd like you to reexamine a change.  Please visit

catalog_manager: prevent spurious dirty callbacks from crashing the process

The recent change to switch from LocalConsensus to RaftConsensus has led to
an increased number of dirty callback calls when using just one master. Some
of these calls occur with no term change; the catalog manager treats them as
any other calls and reloads the on-disk metadata.

In theory that's just unnecessary work, but CheckIsLeaderAndReady() doesn't
provide adequate protection for the rest of the master when in this state, so
nearly every RPC is allowed in during this time. That's an absolute disaster
for correctness: imagine a GetTableLocations() returning only a subset of a
table's tablets because the rest were still being loaded from disk.

Luckily for us it can also manifest as a crash [1] so we noticed it quickly.
I chose to fix it by ignoring these calls within
CatalogManager::VisitTablesAndTabletsTask and not
SysCatalogTable::SysCatalogStateChanged because the synchronization in the
former is more straight forward thanks to the size of worker_pool_. The new
test led to a crash 100% of the time without this fix.

There's an argument to be made for changing TableInfo::TabletMap's raw
pointers to shared pointers thus avoiding this crash altogether, but it's
still an incorrect state to be in, so I don't see the value in doing that.

While I was here, I snuck a few other changes in:
- Remove a lock acquisition from ElectedAsLeaderCb; it did nothing.
- Remove old_role_ from SysCatalogTable; it also did nothing.
- Narrow the lock acquisition in VisitTablesAndTabletsTask; it only needs
  to protect the visiting logic.
