core/consensus: improve simulator test

[corverroos]

Improve consensus round timer silmulator test.

category: test
ticket: #2117

[corverroos]

Example output: matrix.txt

Conclusions:

• medium size cluster is looking best, small-global is worst
• Does seem like double is better than inc, slightly more undecideds, but much better avg duration
• if you must come to consensus, and you are willing to sacrifice avg duration, then exponential is the way to go
• outlier is first line... this doesn't make sense...?
