Description

Context: https://github.com/eBay/HomeStore/pull/654

Currently cluster_config and srv_state are stored in JSON format, and each field need to explicitly specified in RaftReplDev - which requires extra changes on each NuRaft update and lacks backward compatibility.

Should be replaced with better serialization format.

Research direction

Start by reviewing PR 654 and the RaftReplDev handling of cluster_config and srv_state. Define the replacement serialization format and its compatibility requirements first; the work is done when these fields no longer require explicit updates for each NuRaft change while existing configurations remain readable.
