Backport 5/5 commits from #31013.

/cc @cockroachdb/release


Previously, if a Batch RPC came back with a RangeNotFoundError, we would
immediately stop trying to send to more replicas, evict the range
descriptor, and start a new attempt after a back-off.

This new attempt could end up using the same replica, so if the
RangeNotFoundError persisted for some amount of time, so would the
unsuccessful retries for requests to it as DistSender doesn't aggressively
shuffle the replicas.

It turns out that there are such situations, and the election-after-restart
roachtest spuriously hit one of them:

  1. new replica receives a preemptive snapshot and the ConfChange
  2. cluster restarts
  3. now the new replica is in this state until the range wakes
    up, which may not happen for some time. 4. the first request to the range
    runs into the above problem

@nvanbenschoten: I think there is an issue to be filed about the tendency
of DistSender to get stuck in unfortunate configurations.

Fixes #30613.

Release note (bug fix): Avoid repeatedly trying a replica that was found to
be in the process of being added.

This was hiding the output if the invocation itself failed, which is
when you wanted it most.

Fixes cockroachdb#30613.

Whenever a successful response is received from an RPC that we know has
to contact the leaseholder to succeed, update the leaseholder cache.

The immediate motivation for this is to be able to land the preceding
commits, which greatly exacerbated (as in, added a much faster failure
mode to)

```
make stress PKG=./pkg/sql/logictest TESTS=TestPlannerLogic/5node-dist/distsql_interleaved_join
```

However, the change is one we've wanted to make for a while; our caching
and in particular the eviction of leaseholders has been deficient
essentially ever since it was first introduced.

Touches cockroachdb#31068.
