When a proposal is forwarded from a follower to a leader,
waitForCallback is incorrect: what matters is whether the leader is
waiting for a pending config change callback. Instead, we need to
repropose from the follower when the leader has completed its pending
config change. This is difficult to observe directly but does have a
side effect: when a config change is dropped, it is replaced with an
empty entry. When we see such an entry, we know we have to re-propose.
Since empty entries are also used to signal leader changes, we can
remove the re-proposals in maybeSendLeaderEvent.
