raft: Avoid having more than one snapshot in-flight.

Previous commit 8c2c503bdb0d ("raft: Avoid sending equal snapshots.")
took a "safe" approach to not send only exactly same snapshot
installation requests.  However, it doesn't make much sense to send
more than one snapshot at a time.  If obsolete snapshot installed,
leader will re-send the most recent one.

With this change leader will have only 1 snapshot in-flight per
connection.  This will reduce backlogs on raft connections in case
new snapshot created while 'install_snapshot_request' is in progress
or if election timer changed in that period.

Also, not tracking the exact 'install_snapshot_request' we've sent
allows to simplify the code.
