// unstable contains "unstable" log entries and snapshot state that has
// not yet been written to Storage. The type serves two roles. First, it
// holds on to new log entries and an optional snapshot until they are
// handed to a Ready struct for persistence. Second, it continues to
// hold on to this state after it has been handed off to provide raftLog
// with a view of the in-progress log entries and snapshot until their
// writes have been stabilized and are guaranteed to be reflected in
// queries of Storage. After this point, the corresponding log entries
// and/or snapshot can be cleared from unstable.
//
// unstable.entries[i] has raft log position i+unstable.offset.
// Note that unstable.offset may be less than the highest log
// position in storage; this means that the next write to storage
// might need to truncate the log before persisting unstable.entries.
