Add prefered site option to the tiebreaker solution in PHA

When using the current tiebreaker solution for split brain protection then it's a random based decision which site will win.
For some setup it would be helpful if there would be an option to define a preferred site.

    .We need this functionality from RSCT.

    Eventhough we can configure a delay in the TieBreaker, Currently RSCT gets the TieBreaker as soon as it receives a split message. The delay is exercised after the Tiebreaker is achieved.

    Forwarding to RSCT to allow for a timeout before or giving a preferred site in the definition itself.
