Description

After a failure, the newly-promoted primary broker guards messages for each of the backups that were connected at the time of the failure. It waits for them to reconnect to the new primary before becoming active.

This patch introduces a time-out so that if an expected backup fails to fail-over within the time limit, the primary will cancel the guards for that backup and carry on.
