A. I see that the other existing tests have deadlock_timeout set as
10ms, 100ms, 100s, etc. Is there a reason to keep so low here? Shall
we keep it as 10ms?
B. /among leader/among the leader

2. Can we leave having tests in 022_twophase_cascade to be covered by
parallel mode? The two-phase and parallel apply will be covered by
023_twophase_stream, so not sure if we get any extra coverage by
022_twophase_cascade.

3. Let's combine 0001 and 0002 as both have got reviewed independently.
