Tomasz Grabiec 9c4e32d2e2 Merge 'raft: server: drop waiters in applier_fiber instead of io_fiber' from Kamil Braun
When `io_fiber` fetched a batch with a configuration that does not
contain this node, it would send the entries committed in this batch to
`applier_fiber` and proceed by any remaining entry dropping waiters (if
the node was no longer a leader).

If there were waiters for entries committed in this batch, it could
either happen that `applier_fiber` received and processed those entries
first, notifying the waiters that the entries were committed and/or
applied, or it could happen that `io_fiber` reaches the dropping waiters
code first, causing the waiters to be resolved with
`commit_status_unknown`.

The second scenario is undesirable. For example, when a follower tries
to remove the current leader from the configuration using
`modify_config`, if the second scenario happens, the follower will get
`commit_status_unknown` - this can happen even though there are no node
or network failures. In particular, this caused
`randomized_nemesis_test.remove_leader_with_forwarding_finishes` to fail
from time to time.

Fix it by serializing the notifying and dropping of waiters in a single
fiber - `applier_fiber`. We decided to move all management of waiters
into `applier_fiber`, because most of that management was already there
(there was already one `drop_waiters` call, and two `notify_waiters`
calls). Now, when `io_fiber` observes that we've been removed from the
config and no longer a leader, instead of dropping waiters, it sends a
message to `applier_fiber`. `applier_fiber` will drop waiters when
receiving that message.

Improve an existing test to reproduce this scenario more frequently.

Fixes #11235.

Closes #11308
