Rongsong Shen 80950ffbba fix(ha-bootstrap): priority staggering and candidate_id in election
Two Raft correctness fixes:

1. Priority staggering in ha_wait_for_heartbeat_or_timeout():
   Add my_priority × election_priority_step_ms to the timeout so
   ctrl-a (priority=0) times out first and starts election before
   ctrl-b (priority=1) and ctrl-c (priority=2). This gives the
   highest-priority node a head start and prevents simultaneous
   campaigning that causes perpetual split votes.

2. candidate_id in vote RPC:
   Pass the actual node name (myconf->name) as candidate_id instead
   of "". This fixes the voted_for deduplication gate (Req 2.6):
   a peer that already voted for ctrl-a will correctly deny a
   second vote request from ctrl-b in the same term.

   Thread context gets my_name field; am_i_primary_quorum() takes
   my_name parameter; all call sites updated (myapp.c, ha.c RDHUP,
   test_ha_election.c stubs).

/* test_ha_election.c — Unity RED-phase tests for Raft-style quorum election logic.
*
* Tests verify:
* Req 2.1: 2/3 votes received → CTRL_PRIMARY
* Req 2.2: Lower-term vote request → deny
* Req 2.3: Higher-term vote request → update term, clear voted_for, grant
* Req 2.4: Freshness gate: peer has higher config_tag or equal-tag+higher LSN → deny
* Req 2.5: in_catch_up=1 standby votes are denied
* Req 2.6: voted_for enforcement: deny second candidate in same term
* Req 2.7: Fresher-peer yield gate: candidate wins votes but a responding peer is
* fresher → yield to that peer → CTRL_STANDBY
* Req 2.8: config_tag=0 candidate with peer having non-zero tag → fatal, not PRIMARY
* Req 2.9: Single-node self-elects immediately without any network calls
* Req 2.10: Split vote → retry with incremented term
* Req 2.11: Second election also fails quorum → CTRL_STANDBY
* Req 2.12: Identical tag/LSN peers → jitter tiebreaker (randomised, no priority)
*
* Functions under test:
* handle_request_vote() — per-request vote handler (not yet in ha.h)
* ha_elect_evaluate_and_signal() — evaluates accumulated votes; signals done sem
* am_i_primary_quorum() — top-level quorum election entrypoint
*
* These functions do NOT exist yet. Linking will fail with "undefined reference"
* which is the expected RED-phase proof for task 4.1.

* These extern declarations cause linker-level "undefined reference" failures

*
* handle_request_vote:
* Called by the vtaskmgr dispatch loop when an OP_requestVote message arrives.
* Checks term, voted_for, and freshness gate; updates ha state; grants or
* denies the vote; persists term state via ha_persist_term().
*
* Parameters:
* ha — the receiving controller's ha_state_t (vote state modified)
* term — candidate's proposed term
* candidate_id — candidate's controller name (NUL-terminated)
* config_tag — candidate's config_tag at time of request
* last_lsn — candidate's highest applied WAL LSN
* my_config_tag — this controller's current config_tag
* my_last_lsn — this controller's current WAL LSN
* in_catch_up_flag — non-zero if this node is currently catching up
*
* Returns:
* 1 — vote granted
* 0 — vote denied (term too low, already voted, not fresh enough, catch-up)
* <0 — error
*
* ha_elect_evaluate_and_signal:
* Called by each per-peer vote-reply thread as replies accumulate in ctx.
* Evaluates the current vote tally; if quorum is reached (or all peers replied),
* sets ctx->result and posts ctx->done.
* Also applies the fresher-peer yield gate (req 2.7).
*
* Parameters:
* ha — the candidate's ha_state_t (term read for fencing)
* ctx — the election context accumulating vote state
*
* Returns:
* CTRL_PRIMARY — quorum won and no fresher responding peer
* CTRL_STANDBY — quorum lost or fresher peer yields (ctx->result already set)
*
* am_i_primary_quorum:
* Top-level election entrypoint called from myapp.c after the heartbeat
* timeout fires. Increments term, allocates ha_elect_ctx_t, spawns one
* pthread per peer to send OP_requestVote, blocks on ctx->done, evaluates
* the result, and returns the final role.
*
* For single-node clusters (n_peers == 1): immediately returns CTRL_PRIMARY
* without any network calls (req 2.9).
*
* Parameters:
* ha — the candidate's ha_state_t (term + votes modified)
* n_peers — total controller count INCLUDING self
* peers — array of xce_candidate_t* for the other controllers (n_peers-1)
* my_config_tag — local config_tag at election time
* my_lsn — local WAL LSN at election time
*
* Returns:
* CTRL_PRIMARY — won election and no fresher peer
* CTRL_STANDBY — lost election (quorum not reached, fresher peer, or fatal)
