Description Timothy Redaelli 2021-05-25 18:13:29 UTC 
Clone for ovsdb2.13 component.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1960391 +++

Description of problem:
While the raft leader is writing its snapshot, it may fail to send raft heartbeats. In order to alleviate this we should make OVSDB leader transfer leadership when it needs to write its snapshot.
