This includes both major and minor refinements of the raft package. The most important of these are the addition of the Protocol interface and that NewServer now accepts only a Protocol instance. The purpose of this change is to make the library more flexible - it allows the user to specify what Log, Storage, and SnapshotStorage implementation they wish to use while still using Server. Further, since Server accepts a Protocol instance, a user may use their own raft implementation as long as it satisfies the interface.
