This bug was possibly introduced by
#1203. This PR refactored the
consensus operation, propose -> prevote transition (`defaultDoPrevote`
method), to match the pseudo-code.

The refactoring assumed that when `cs.ProposalBlock` is unset (nil), so
should be `cs.Proposal` (meaning that the node didn't receive the round
proposal). In this case, the node must prevote nil.

The added test unit describes a scenario where `cs.Proposal` is nil (not
received), but the block ` cs.ProposalBlock` is received because the
node sees a Polka for a block, then receives the full associated block.
The node must prevote nil in this scenario, in line with #1203. But the
lack of the test on `cs.Proposal` leads to a bug.

This bug does not affect previous releases except for `v1.0`.
