Also the sentinel configuration rewriting was modified in order to
account for failover in progress, where we need to provide the promoted
slave address as master address, and the old master address as one of
the slaves address.

We'll use CONFIG REWRITE (internally) in order to store the new
configuration of a Sentinel after the internal state changes. In order
to do so, we need configuration options (that usually the user will not
touch at all) about config epoch of the master, Sentinels and Slaves
known for this master, and so forth.

The time Sentinel waits since the slave is detected to be configured to
the wrong master, before reconfiguring it, is now the failover_timeout
time as this makes more sense in order to give the Sentinel performing
the failover enoung time to reconfigure the slaves slowly (if required
by the configuration).
Also we now PUBLISH more frequently the new configuraiton as this allows
to switch the reapprearing master back to slave faster.

Also defaulf failover timeout changed to 3 minutes as the failover is a
fairly fast procedure most of the times, unless there are a very big
number of slaves and the user picked to configure them sequentially (in
that case the user should change the failover timeout accordingly).

Once we switched configuration during a failover, we should advertise
the new address.
This was a serious race condition as the Sentinel performing the
failover for a moment advertised the old address with the new
configuration epoch: once trasmitted to the other Sentinels the broken
configuration would remain there forever, until the next failover
(because a greater configuration epoch is required to overwrite an older
one).

Now Sentinel believe the current configuration is always the winner and
should be applied by Sentinels instead of trying to adapt our view of
the cluster based on what we observe.
So the only way to modify what a Sentinel believe to be the truth is to
win an election and advertise the new configuration via Pub / Sub with a
greater configuration epoch.
