// Gossip leader election module
// Algorithm properties:
// - Peers break symmetry by comparing IDs
// - Each peer is either a leader or a follower,
//   and the aim is to have exactly 1 leader if the membership view
//   is the same for all peers
// - If the network is partitioned into 2 or more sets, the number of leaders
//   is the number of network partitions, but when the partition heals,
//   only 1 leader should be left eventually
// - Peers communicate by gossiping leadership proposal or declaration messages

// The Algorithm, in pseudo code:
//
//
// variables:
// 	leaderKnown = false
//
// Invariant:
//	Peer listens for messages from remote peers
//	and whenever it receives a leadership declaration,
//	leaderKnown is set to true
//
// Startup():
// 	wait for membership view to stabilize, or for a leadership declaration is received
//      or the startup timeout expires.
//	goto SteadyState()
//
// SteadyState():
// 	while true:
//		If leaderKnown is false:
// 			LeaderElection()
//		If you are the leader:
//			Broadcast leadership declaration
//			If a leadership declaration was received from
// 			a peer with a lower ID,
//			become a follower
//		Else, you're a follower:
//			If haven't received a leadership declaration within
// 			a time threshold:
//				set leaderKnown to false
//
// LeaderElection():
// 	Gossip leadership proposal message
//	Collect messages from other peers sent within a time period
//	If received a leadership declaration:
//		return
//	Iterate over all proposal messages collected.
// 	If a proposal message from a peer with an ID lower
// 	than yourself was received, return.
//	Else, declare yourself a leader
