Similar to #98 , dump ActorRef resolution for ActorSelection, but this time in the context of the elected leader in the Leader actor. At first, using a resolved reference seems like a good idea in the Leader -- we care whether there is an actor alive at the other end. However, we're also doing our own liveness testing for the elected leader, and doubling up on that just leads to confusion.
Also, while we care whether there is a live remote leader, we don't care which instantiation it is -- and stale ActorRefs with old ids can be problematic.
