Motivation
----------
Since strongly consistent tables are based on the concept of Raft
groups, operations on them can get stuck for indefinite amounts of
time. That may be problematic, and so we'd like to implement a way
to cancel those operations at suitable times.
Description of solution
-----------------------
The situations we focus on are the following:
* Timed-out queries
* Leader changes
* Tablet migrations
* Table drops
* Node shutdowns
We handle each of them and provide validation tests.
Implementation strategy
-----------------------
1. Auxiliary commits.
2. Abort operations on timeout.
3. Abort operations on tablet removal.
4. Extend `client_state`.
5. Abort operation on shutdown.
6. Help `state_machine` be aborted as soon as possible.
Tests
-----
We provide tests that validate the correctness of the solution.
The total time spent on `test_strong_consistency.py`
(measured on my local machine, dev mode):
Before:
```
real 0m31.809s
user 1m3.048s
sys 0m21.812s
```
After:
```
real 0m34.523s
user 1m10.307s
sys 0m27.223s
```
The incremental differences in time can be found in the commit messages.
Fixes SCYLLADB-429
Backport: not needed. This is an enhancement to an experimental feature.
