The limited voters feature did not account for the existing topology
coordinator (Raft leader) when selecting voters to be removed.
As a result, the limited voters calculator could inadvertently remove
the votership of the current topology coordinator, triggering
an unnecessary Raft leader re-election.
This change ensures that the existing topology coordinator's votership
status is preserved unless absolutely necessary. When choosing between
otherwise equivalent voters, the node other than the topology coordinator
is prioritized for removal. This helps maintain stability in the cluster
by avoiding unnecessary leader re-elections.
Additionally, only the alive leader node is considered relevant for this
logic. A dead existing leader (topology coordinator) is excluded from
consideration, as it is already in the process of losing leadership.
