Fix intermittent LeaderTest/CandidateTest failures

Fix intermittent LeaderTest/CandidateTest failures

The test cases in LeaderTest and CandidateTest have been failing
intermittently. A particular test in CandidateTest has recently started
failing fairly regularly on jenkins for some reason.

The common denominator is that an initial message to an actor isn't
received and goes to dead letters instead, even though the actor was
just created. This seems related to the use of ActorSelection in the raft
behavior classes, I suspect a timing issue where the underlying actor
isn't actually created/available yet via actorSelection. I had seen this
in the past and attempted to alleviate it by adding a verifyActorReady to
TestActorFactory to verify with retries that the actor can be obtained via
actorSelection.resolveOne. However it doesn't appear resolveOne works as
advertised or maybe a successful call doesn't mean a message will
succeed.

I changed verifyActorReady to send an Identify message to the
actorSelection and verify successful response. On my system LeaderTest
would usually fail within 30 test runs. After the change it ran
successfully 400 times.
