Gleb Natapov c073997431 raft: Introduce raft interface header
This commit introduce public raft interfaces. raft::server represents
single raft server instance. raft::state_machine represents a user
defined state machine. raft::rpc, raft::rpc_client and raft::storage are
used to allow implementing custom networking and storage layers.

A shared failure detector interface defines keep-alive semantics,
required for efficient implementation of thousands of raft groups.
