kvserver: introduce a Raft-based transport for closedts

This patch introduces a replacement for the existing closed timestamp
mechanism / transport. The new mechanism is gated by a cluster version.

Raft commands now carry increasing closed timestamps generated by the
propBuf by using the recent request Tracker for synchronizing with
in-flight requests (i.e. not closing timestamps below them).
Raft commands get a closed ts field, and the range state gets the field
as well.

The propBuf pays attention to the range's closed timestamp policy for
deciding whether to close lagging or leading timestamps.

Release note: None
