Are there more places in the tests where it is more correct to call wantRaft instead of wantPeers?

I think I got them all but I'll make one more pass through and look over the remaining wantPeers uses before I merge. Maybe we can get rid of wantPeers.

Took a look through the rest and the other uses of wantPeers are justified to actually look for voters, given what they are testing.
This should have been there before, but it's more obvious that this is incorrect now that we default the Raft protocol to 3, which puts new servers in a read-only state while Autopilot waits for them to become healthy.
Relaxed the check for a given number of voter peers and instead do a thorough check that all servers see each other in their Raft configurations.
These now just check for Raft replication to be set up, and don't care about the number of voter peers.

When we defaulted the Raft protocol version to 3 in #3477 we made the numPeers() routine more strict to only count voters (this is more conservative and more correct). This had the side effect of breaking rolling updates becuase it's at odds with the Autopilot non-voter promotion logic. That logic used to wait to only promote to maintain an odd quorum of servers. During a rolling update (add one new server, wait, and then kill an old server) the dead server cleanup would still count the old server as a peer, which is conservative and the right thing to do, and no longer count the non-voter. This would wait to promote, so you could get into a stalemate. It is safer to promote early than remove early, so by promoting as soon as possible we have chosen that as the solution here. Fixes #3611

* Relaxes Autopilot promotion logic. When we defaulted the Raft protocol version to 3 in #3477 we made the numPeers() routine more strict to only count voters (this is more conservative and more correct).

Fixes #3611 * Gets rid of unnecessary extra not-a-voter check.
