Raft topology error injections: failed to add a node to a cluster if another bootstrapping node is stuck

[Evgeniy Naydanov]

It's a failure of a synthetic test implemented as a part of "Randomized Failure Injection for Raft Based Topology" test effort: #16223

The idea of the test is to have a cluster, where one node is stressed with injections and failures and the rest of the cluster is used to make progress of the Raft state machine.

add_new_node cluster event failed to add a node to a cluster if used with following error injections:

• stop_after_starting_auth_service
• stop_after_setting_mode_to_normal
• stop_before_becoming_raft_voter
• stop_after_updating_cdc_generation
• stop_before_streaming
• stop_after_streaming

scylla-6.log (a new node the test is trying to add while node-5 is SIGSTOPed):

After the last message the node-6 just do nothing.

To reproduce these specific failures you need to checkout the PR and change CLUSTER_EVENTS and ERROR_INJECTIONS tuples (in test/topology_experimental_raft/cluster_events.py and test/topology_experimental_raft/error_injections.py files correspondingly) to run just required combination.
