[Platform] Auto-start new master if a master has been stopped. #9414

Reference ticket: 1576

In platform, if less than RF number of masters are running, it's possible to select "start new master" on one of the remaining nodes in the "nodes" tab.

It would be convenient for this process to happen automatically after some user-definable timeout, with the assumption that the node will not be coming back online because it's dead.

That is, instead of a user-driven process to start an new master, the platform does it automatically.

This is a bit like a corrective action for an alert.
