Bug: failing to retrieve highest round on acceptor recovery

[archie]

If the acceptors accepts and votes for a value with a higher round number without having made a promise for it first and then crashes, when it resumes, it will not set the highest promise made in it's state for that election. Although it will remember the highest round,vote made. It just wont set the state properly.

While this makes sense to do, I don't think it's critical to
correctness. The majority who did send the promise will have persisted
it, and that's enough for less-than-majority failures without losing
the record of the round and being able to do something illegal like
reuse it.
