[Tarantool-patches] [PATCH 6/8] raft: fix ignorance of bad state receipt

raft_process_msg() only validated that the state is specified. But
it didn't check if the state is inside of the allowed value range.

Such messages were considered valid, and even their other fields
were accepted. For instance, an invalid message could bump term.

It is safer to reject such messages.
