The new algorithm does not check replies time as checking for the
currentEpoch in the reply ensures that the reply is about the current
election process.

The old algorithm used a PROMOTED flag and explicitly checks about
slave->master convertions. Wit the new cluster meta-data propagation
algorithm we just look at the configEpoch to check if we need to
reconfigure slots, then:
1) If a node is a master but it reaches zero served slots becuase of
reconfiguration.
2) If a node is a slave but the master reaches zero served slots because
of a reconfiguration.
We switch as a replica of the new slots owner.

We need to:
1) Increment the configEpoch.
2) Save it to disk and fsync the file.
3) Broadcast the PONG with the new configuration.
If other nodes will receive the updated configuration we need to be sure
to restart with this new config in the event of a crash.

First change: now there is no need to be a master in order to detect a
failure, however the majority of masters signaling PFAIL or FAIL is needed.
This change is important because it allows slaves rejoining the cluster
after a partition to sense the FAIL condition so that eventually all the
nodes agree on failures.

The time is sent in requests, and copied back in reply packets.
This way the receiver can compare the time field in a reply with its
local clock and check the age of the request associated with this reply.
This is an easy way to discard delayed replies. Note that only a clock
is used here, that is the one of the node sending the packet. The
receiver only copies the field back into the reply, so no
synchronization is needed between clocks of different hosts.
