Generalized Consensus: Governing Rules

Hi HN, this is a series on a way to generalize consensus protocols and how to adapt them to existing systems.

This is part 3: Governing Rules. This is the foundation for the rest of the series. We'll be repetitively applying these rules to map out all parts of the protocol. Also, every system that I know of implicitly follows these rules.

One of our goals is to make this work for Postgres via Multigres. But the principles can be used to implement your own solutions also. This will make Durability and High Availability more accessible for users.

I'll post here as I release the subsequent parts.
