PaxosRole currently has three states, Follower, Recoverer and Leader. The logic actually has two states for a Follower, one which is normal running and the other which is when it has timedout and issued a lowball prepare. It would better document the actual state machine if we modelled awaiting the responses to the lowball prepare as a different state. That could be something like Candidate to indicate that it is seeking to be the leader.

Whilst we are at it the term Role might be applied to the concept of proposer, accepter and learner. So we might consider renaming it to be PaxosState.
