raft: Clarify conditions for granting votes and prevotes.

This includes one theoretical logic change: A node that knows the
leader of the current term will no longer grant votes, even if it has
not yet voted in this term. It also adds a `m.Type == MsgPreVote`
guard on the `m.Term > r.Term` check, which was previously thought to
be incorrect (see #8517) but was actually just unclear.

Closes #8517
Closes #8571
