    ubik: Try to detect VOTE_Beacon errors
    
    Currently the way ubik dbsites vote for each other is via the "return
    value" of the Beacon VOTE RPC. Since this is really an Rx abort, this
    can easily collide with actual errors on the wire, such as rxkad
    errors.
    
    Try to detect these by detecting vote times that are very different
    than the current timestamp (more than an hour in the future or past),
    and treat it like a network error.
    
    If we do not do this, a single site reporting an error can cause us to
    never reach quorum, since we calculate our sync site expiration based
    on the oldest 'yes' vote, which for most known Rx aborts will be far
    in the past.
