 * cluster.
 *
 * Creates the local copy of the cluster's log in 'file_name', which must not
 * already exist.  Gives it the name 'name', which must be the same name
 * passed in to raft_create_cluster() earlier.
 *
 * 'cid' is optional.  If specified, the new server will join only the cluster
 * with the given cluster ID.
 *
 * The new server is located at 'local_address', which must take one of the
 * forms "tcp:IP:PORT" or "ssl:IP:PORT", where IP is an IPv4 address or a
 * square bracket enclosed IPv6 address and PORT is a TCP port number.
 *
 * Joining the cluster requires contacting it.  Thus, 'remote_addresses'
 * specifies the addresses of existing servers in the cluster.  One server out
 * of the existing cluster is sufficient, as long as that server is reachable
 * and not partitioned from the current cluster leader.  If multiple servers
 * from the cluster are specified, then it is sufficient for any of them to
 * meet this criterion.
 *
 * This only creates the on-disk file and does no network access.  Use
 * raft_open() to start operating the new server.  (Until this happens, the
 * new server has not joined the cluster.)
 *
 * Returns null if successful, otherwise an ovsdb_error describing the
 * problem. */
