Description
Every once in a while an instance becomes unbootable and it becomes difficult to do anything with it.
Multipass could help with that situation and provide a "recovery" mode where the image of a broken instance would be attached to a fresh instance and allow for introspection / data recovery.
Another option could be guidance on how to access the graphical console of a VM, perhaps even opening for the user where possible.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by examining how Multipass commands manage instances and how broken instance images or graphical consoles are currently exposed; done means the recovery approach is agreed and the proposed `multipass rescue` workflow is implemented.
