kvserver: prevent etcd-io/raft from dropping conf changes

Relies on etcd-io/raft#81.

We don't want it to, since that causes issues due to false positives. We are
taking responsibility for carrying out only valid conf changes, as we always
have.

See also etcd-io/raft#80.

Fixes cockroachdb#105797.
Epic: CRDB-25287
Release note (bug fix): under rare circumstances, a replication change could get
stuck when proposed near lease/leadership changes (and likely under overload),
and the replica circuit breakers could trip. This problem has been addressed.
Note to editors: this time it's really addressed (fingers crossed); a previous
attempt with an identical release note had to be reverted.
