Ettore Di Giacinto 0a9ae2d8ee test(distributed): cover replica death, rolling restart and racing replicas
Four scenarios with no prior equivalent: killing a replica must not disturb a
worker that never depended on it, a cold-restarted replica must rehydrate the
roster from shared state and keep accepting the worker's heartbeats, a dead
worker must settle to offline on every replica, and two replicas registering a
worker each must converge on one roster.

The timings are measured, not assumed. Node liveness is heartbeat freshness, so
the only eviction path is StaleNodeThreshold (60s) plus one HealthCheckInterval
tick (15s), and neither is reachable from the CLI. A worker whose registrar was
killed was observed going offline at 74.2s. Every window here is sized to
outlast that, because an assertion that expires before the system could have
reacted proves nothing.

Two assertions are deliberately unlike the obvious form. Statuses are compared
for equality against a probe that returns a sentinel on error, rather than
asserting a name is absent from the healthy list: the list probe returns nil on
any error, and "does not contain" is satisfied by nil, so a 401 at the second
replica would have passed while observing nothing. And a killed worker is
required to settle to exactly offline, because it first flaps to unhealthy at
~8s and back to healthy at ~14s, which any not-healthy matcher would accept.

SpreadWorkerRegistrations is new, off by default, and exists so the racing
spec is a race: the harness otherwise points every worker at frontend 0, which
would have left that scenario asserting on two sequential writes through one
process. The default is unchanged because the baseline specs depend on it.
