fix deadlock in plan_apply (#13407)
The plan applier has to get a snapshot with a minimum index for the
plan it's working on in order to ensure consistency. Under heavy raft
loads, we can exceed the timeout. When this happens, we hit a bug
where the plan applier blocks waiting on the `indexCh` forever, and
all schedulers will block in `Plan.Submit`.

Closing the `indexCh` when the `asyncPlanWait` is done with it will
prevent the deadlock without impacting correctness of the previous
snapshot index.

This changeset includes the a PoC failing test that works by injecting
a large timeout into the state store. We need to turn this into a test
we can run normally without breaking the state store before we can
merge this PR.

Increase `snapshotMinIndex` timeout to 10s.
This timeout creates backpressure where any concurrent `Plan.Submit`
RPCs will block waiting for results. This sheds load across all
servers and gives raft some CPU to catch up, because schedulers won't
dequeue more work while waiting. Increase it to 10s based on
observations of large production clusters.

core: Fixed a bug where the plan applier could deadlock if leader's state lagged behind plan's creation index for more than 5 seconds.
