#20960 removed `LocalDiscovery` and we now use `ZenDiscovery` in all our tests. To keep cluster forming fast, we are using a `MockZenPing` implementation which uses static maps to return instant results making master election fast. Currently, we don't set `minimum_master_nodes` causing the occasional split brain when starting multiple nodes concurrently and their pinging is so fast that it misses the fact that one of the node has elected it self master. To solve this, `InternalTestCluster` is modified to behave like a true cluster and manage and set `minimum_master_nodes` correctly with every change to the number of nodes.
Tests that want to manage the settings themselves can opt out using a new `autoMinMasterNodes` parameter to the `ClusterScope` annotation.
Having `min_master_nodes` set means the started node may need to wait for other nodes to be started as well. To combat this, we set `discovery.initial_state_timeout` to `0` and wait for the cluster to form once all node have been started. Also, because a node may wait and ping while other nodes are started, `MockZenPing` is adapted to wait rather than busy-ping.
