[ovs-dev] [PATCH] raft: Report disconnected in cluster/status if candidate retries election.

[Ilya Maximets]

If election times out for a server in 'candidate' role it sets
'candidate_retrying' flag that notifies that storage is disconnected
and client should re-connect.  However, cluster/status command
reports 'Status: cluster member' and that is misleading.
Reporting "disconnected from the cluster (election timeout)" instead.

Fixes: 1b1d2e6daa56 ("ovsdb: Introduce experimental support for clustered databases.")
