Prevent Praefect read-only mode after failovers

What does this Merge Request do?

Prevents Praefect from entering read-only mode after a failover. During local development, Gitaly nodes may crash and restart often. Many developers are not familiar with Praefect read-only mode. Until recovering from read-only mode is more automated, the feature should be disabled on GDK to prevent interrupting workflows.
