feat(us-019): distributed tracker consensus — Raft assignments + CRDT gossip

raft.py: minimal Raft consensus for shard-assignment log
  - Leader election with random 150–300ms election timeouts
  - AppendEntries log replication; majority commit required
  - RequestVote RPC with log-completeness check
  - Follower registration forwarded to leader via HTTP proxy

gossip.py: LWW CRDT gossip for inference-node heartbeat liveness
  - Each tracker keeps {node_id → wall_clock_timestamp}
  - Merges incoming gossip by taking max per key
  - Pushes snapshot to random peer every 3 seconds

server.py + cli.py:
  - TrackerServer gains cluster_peers + cluster_self_url params
  - New HTTP endpoints: /v1/raft/vote, /v1/raft/append,
    /v1/raft/status, /v1/gossip
  - --cluster-peers and --self-url CLI flags

tests/test_tracker_consensus.py: 6 integration tests
  - Leader elected within 1s
  - Follower registration propagated to all nodes
  - Follower proxy to leader
  - Leader kill → new election within 5s, registrations continue
  - Gossip table updated on heartbeat

92 tests pass, 1 skipped.

+"""US-019 integration tests: distributed tracker consensus (Raft + gossip).
+
+Three TrackerServer instances form a Raft cluster in-process.  Tests verify:
+- Leader election completes within 1 second
+- Registration forwarded from follower reaches all nodes
+- Killing the leader triggers a new election within 5 seconds
+- Heartbeat gossip propagates across nodes
