Consensus State Machine Overview:

* Propose, Prevote, Precommit represent state machine stages. (aka RoundStep, or step).
  Each take a predetermined amount of time depending on the round number.
* The Commit step can be entered by two means:
  1. After the Precommit step, +2/3 Precommits were found
  2. At any time, +2/3 Commits were found
* Once in the Commit stage, two conditions must both be satisfied
  before proceeding to the next height NewHeight.
* The Propose step of the next height does not begin until
  at least Delta duration *after* +2/3 Commits were found.
  The step stays at NewHeight until this timeout occurs before
  proceeding to Propose.
