VAULT-14048: raft-autopilot appears to refuse to remove a node which …

…has left and wouldn't impact stability (hashicorp#19472)

* ensure we supply the node type when it's for a voter
* bumped autopilot version back to v0.2.0 and ran go mod tidy
* changed condition in knownservers and added some comments
* Export GetRaftBackend
* Updated tests for autopilot (related to dead server cleanup)
* Export Raft NewDelegate
