Description
There are currently no metrics for Gossip latency. This is important, for example because it affects liveness -- if gossip is too slow, liveness won't be propagated fast enough and nodes will try to force re-election.
One idea is to export a latency histogram on each receiver. Every message has a sender timestamp and we could compare that with the receiver's clock to get an estimate of the latency.
