This is a return to the old, possibly asymmetric/unidirectional network
partition simulation scheme. PULSE testing so far for the
symmetric/bidirectional partitioning scheme (via the "islands" approach)
appears to be very stable, yay.
So, let's go back to the harder environment and see what happens!
This is some brute-force-and-not-subtle hackery, but it looks like I've
got the basis for a test that a model checker (QuickCheck or Concuerror
or something else) can use for a good/bad check.
The following properties are examined (but not enforced):
* At each epoch, are each of the chains disjoint? I.e. no single FLU
is a member of different chains at the same epoch.
This is a safety/sanity check.
* For each unique chain UPI list at each epoch, are all of the FLUs in that
chain unanimous in their agreement:
agreed_membership: all UPI FLUs agree about the UPI list
not_agreed: the membership algorithm has not yet agreed on
the UPI list
This is not a safety/sanity check per se, but it can be useful input
into a good safety check.
Some examples:
* At epoch 0, there is no agreement on UPI membership of the one [a,b,c]
chain.
* At epoch 1, there is full agreement,
* At epoch 4, we're back to no agreement.
* At epoch 17, there's agreement on a small chain with UPI list=[a].
(This agreement continues until epoch 216, but that history is omitted
here.)

Starting at epoch 419, the network stabilized, but not fully,
into two "islands" of servers, a alone and b&c together.
At epoch 486, the network is fully stabilized with the same network
partition. We see rapid convergence to two chains, [a] and [b,c].

on the islands of [a,b] and [c].
