Activates `Node.self()`.
When `:raft_fleet` is started as an OTP application, the node is not active;
to host consensus group members each node must be explicitly activated.
`zone` is an ID of data center zone which this node belongs to.
`zone` is used to determine which nodes to replicate data:
`RaftFleet` tries to place members of each consensus group across multiple zones for maximum availability.
Node activation by calling this function should be done after the node is
fully connected to the other existing nodes.
Otherwise there is a possibility that the current node, without noticing other
active nodes in the cluster, initiates a new 1-member cluster instead of joining
the already initiated cluster.
Note that, before calling this function, it is necessary to load and start
OTP applications that are required by consensus group implementations.
Specifically, `:data_module`s and `:communication_module`s specified by consensus group
configurations must be available.

Executes a command on the replicated value identified by `name`.
The target consensus group identified by `name` must be registered beforehand using `add_consensus_group/3`.
This function automatically resolves the leader process of the consensus group,
caches PID of the current leader in local ETS table and send the given command to the leader.
`timeout` is used in each synchronous messaging.
In order to tolerate temporal absences of leaders during Raft leader elections, it retries requests up to `retry`.
Before retrying requests this function sleeps for `retry_interval` milliseconds.
Thus for worst case this function blocks the caller for `timeout * (retry + 1) + retry_interval * retry`.
Note that for complete masking of leader elections `retry_interval * retry` must be sufficiently longer than
the time scale for leader elections (`:election_timeout` in `RaftedValue.Config.t`).
`call_module` can be changed from the default (`:gen_statem` module) with an alternative module that exports
`call/3` for optimization of remote message passing.

Gets information about nodes that are active but unreachable from `Node.self()`.

Note also that, when a node remains unreachable for more than `:node_purge_failure_time_window`,
the node will be automatically purged from the active nodes.
After purging the failed node will not be included in return value of this function (as the node is no longer active).
