rABCea1205ddb23a: [avalanche] Return pending stake contender status when there is no local…

Summary

Before staking rewards is computed on the local node, we cannot be sure
of our vote on any particular contender. To avoid convergence issues, we
respond with a pending status.

This also makes contender voting slightly more robust in the unexpected event
that staking rewards fails to be computed for a block due to a bug or
otherwise.

Added back an invalid case. It is incomplete since the local winner does not actually trigger an ACCEPT vote, but this should make it more obvious where that test is heading.
