Thomas Schoebel-Theuer feb0b34604 marsadm: fix irritating "Inconsistent" display at primary side
At an actual primary, "Inconsistent" would be the correct description
for the state of the _disk_.

However most sysadmins will confuse this with the state of the
_replication_ (which is of course never inconsistent during
writeback from the memory buffer).

Although documented correctly, misunderstandings continue
to survive, because humans are automatically abstracting away
from detail components such as a "disk", and are automatically
assuming that "marsadm view" would relate to the replication
as a whole.

Avoid misunderstandings by more detailed message distinctions
aiming to address all of these in parallel.
