Description

**Describe the bug**
The mount options are silently dropped on timeout

**To Reproduce**
How, and what happened?
1. `multipass launch -n a --timeout 5 --mount ~/dir:/mnt/dir`
2. Error does not mention the missed mounts, even if the instance eventually reaches the running state.

**Expected behavior**
Multipass should clarify to the user that the mount flags are dropped if the mount initialization part is not reached.

**Additional info**
- OS: Ubuntu 24.04
- CPU architecture or model: amd64
- `multipass version`: 1.17.0-dev
