[Tarantool-patches] [PATCH 1/1] raft: introduce election_role configuration option

Hi!

Thank you for the patch and review! 
I vote for 'election_mode' naming, since 'off' means we have election
turend off on this node. The 'voter' means this node behaves in a mode
it votes for others only, the 'candidate' turns into a mode of 
self-nomination. 

LGTM otherwise.

Regards,
Sergos
