Remove all Raft protocol code

Removed all Raft-related code as it was not working properly:
- Removed VSRaftProtocol.java implementation
- Removed all Raft test files
- Removed Raft example/demo files
- Removed Raft documentation
- Removed Raft simulation files (.dat)
- Removed Raft scripts
- Updated VSRegisteredEvents to remove Raft registration
- Updated SimulationBuilder to remove RAFT constant
- Updated SimulationFactory to remove Raft methods
- Updated SimulationBuilderTest to remove Raft tests
- Updated pom.xml to remove Raft test configurations

The protocol had issues with leader election not completing in GUI mode.

-# Raft Consensus Simulation
-
-## Current Status
-
-The `raft.dat` file exists but is currently a copy of `ping-pong.dat` and needs to be properly configured with Raft protocol events through the GUI.
-
-## Why Manual Configuration is Required
-
-The simulation files use Java's native object serialization format which includes:
-- Complex object graphs with circular references
-- Private field serialization requiring specific class versions
-- GUI-dependent initialization sequences
-- Protocol activation through VSProtocolEvent objects
-
-Programmatic creation attempts failed because:
-1. VSSerialize methods require GUI components
-2. VSSimulatorVisualization has private methods for process creation
-3. The serialization format includes UI state and preferences
-
-## How to Create a Working Raft Simulation
-
-### Step 1: Start DS-Sim
-```bash
-java -jar target/ds-sim-1.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
-```
-
-### Step 2: Create New Simulation
-- File → New (or Ctrl+N)
-- This creates a blank simulation
-
-### Step 3: Add Processes
-- Click "Add Process" button 3 times
-- This creates a 3-node Raft cluster
-
-### Step 4: Configure Each Process as Raft Server
-For each process (Process 1, 2, and 3):
-- Right-click on the process
-- Select "Protocols" → "Raft Consensus Algorithm" → "Server"
-- You'll see a protocol activation event added to the task list
-
-### Step 5: Set Simulation Duration
-- Edit → Preferences → Simulator
-- Set "Simulation duration" to 15000 (15 seconds)
-- Click OK
-
-### Step 6: Save the Simulation
-- File → Save As
-- Navigate to `saved-simulations/`
-- Save as `raft.dat`
-
-### Step 7: Run the Simulation
-- Click the Play button (▶)
-- Watch the leader election process
-
-## Expected Behavior
-
-### Time 0-300ms: Initial State
-- All nodes start as FOLLOWERS
-- Each sets a random election timeout (150-300ms)
-- Status: "FOLLOWER" shown in logs
-
-### Time 150-500ms: Election Phase
-- First node to timeout transitions to CANDIDATE
-- Increments term to 1
-- Sends REQUEST_VOTE messages to all other nodes
-- Other nodes respond with VOTE_RESPONSE messages
-
-### Time 300-600ms: Leader Establishment
-- Candidate receiving majority votes becomes LEADER
-- Leader node is highlighted in the visualization
-- Begins sending APPEND_ENTRIES (heartbeat) messages
-
-### Time 600ms+: Steady State
-- Leader sends heartbeats every 50ms
-- Followers acknowledge with APPEND_RESPONSE
-- If leader fails, new election begins after timeout
-
-## Verification
-
-### GUI Verification
-1. Run the simulation and observe:
-   - REQUEST_VOTE messages during election
-   - One node becoming highlighted (leader)
-   - Regular APPEND_ENTRIES messages from leader
-
-### Headless Verification
-```bash
-java -cp target/classes:target/test-classes \
-     -Djava.awt.headless=true \
-     -Dds.sim.verbose=true \
-     testing.HeadlessProtocolRunner saved-simulations/raft.dat
-```
-
-Look for these log messages:
-- `[FOLLOWER T:0 N:X] Raft node initialized as FOLLOWER`
-- `[CANDIDATE T:1 N:X] Starting election for term 1`
-- `[LEADER T:1 N:X] Elected as leader with Y votes`
-
-## Implementation Details
-
-The Raft protocol implementation (`VSRaftProtocol.java`) includes:
-
-- **State Machine**: FOLLOWER → CANDIDATE → LEADER transitions
-- **Election Timeout**: Random 150-300ms to prevent split votes
-- **Heartbeat Interval**: 50ms from leader to maintain authority
-- **Term Management**: Monotonically increasing terms for safety
-- **Vote Tracking**: Majority (n/2 + 1) required for leadership
-- **Message Types**:
-  - REQUEST_VOTE: Candidate requests votes
-  - VOTE_RESPONSE: Follower grants/denies vote
-  - APPEND_ENTRIES: Leader heartbeat/log replication
-  - APPEND_RESPONSE: Follower acknowledgment
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-If the simulation shows no Raft activity:
-1. Verify all processes have Raft protocol events in task list
-2. Check that events are scheduled at time 0
-3. Ensure simulation duration is > 5 seconds
-4. Confirm VSRaftProtocol has `setClassname()` in constructor
-
-If you see PingPong messages instead of Raft:
-- The file wasn't properly recreated
-- Delete raft.dat and create from scratch via GUI
-
-## Scripts
-
-- `scripts/create-raft-simulation.sh` - Creates template and instructions
-- `scripts/analyze-raft-simulation.sh` - Diagnoses simulation issues
