[Why]
When running mixed-version tests, nodes 1/3/5/... are using the primary
umbrella, so usually the newest version. Nodes 2/4/6/... are using the
secondary umbrella, thus the old version.
When clustering, we used to use node 1 (running a new version) as the
seed node, meaning other nodes would join it.
This complicates things with feature flags because we have to make sure
that we start node 1 with new stable feature flags disabled to allow old
nodes to join.
This is also a problem with Khepri machine versions because the cluster
would start with the latest version, which old nodes might not have.
[How]
This patch changes the logic to use a node running the secondary
umbrella as the seed node instead. If there is no node running it, we
pick the first node as before.
V2: Revert part of "rabbitmq_ct_helpers: Fix how we set
`$RABBITMQ_FEATURE_FLAGS` in tests" (commit
57ed962). These changes are no
longer needed with the new logic.
V3: The check that verifies that the correct metadata store is used has
a special case for nodes that use the secondary umbrella: if Khepri
is supposed to be used but it's not, the feature flag is enabled.
The reason is that the `v4.0.x` branch doesn't know about the `rel`
configuration of `forced_feature_flags_on_init`. The nodes will
have ignored thies parameter and booted with the stable feature
flags only.
Many testsuites are adapted to the new clustering order. If they
manage which node joins which node, either the order is changed in
the testcases, or nodes are started with only required feature
flags. For testsuites that rely on peer discovery where the order is
unknown, nodes are started with only required feature flags.
[Why] The intent is to have it stable and enabled by default for new deployment in RabbitMQ 4.1.x. To prepare for this goal, it is time to mark the feature flag as stable to let us iron out the library and its integration into RabbitMQ. This is not a commitment at this stage: we will revisit this near the beginning of the release cycle and commit to it or revert to experimental.
