[JENKINS-46235] API does not allow to remove lockable resource

There is a way to dynamically create lockable resource within the jenkins pipeline script using LockableResourcesManager::createResource() and ::createResourceWithLabel(), but there are no API method to remove said resource.

NOTE: Fixing JENKINS-38906">JENKINS-38906 in a way suggested by eeaston could require said method to be developed (as 'transient' resources will be created and removed in pipeline step).

Start by reading LockableResourcesManager::createResource() and ::createResourceWithLabel(), then trace how dynamically created resources are used from the Jenkins pipeline script. Define the corresponding removal API and verify that resources created during a pipeline can be removed when they are no longer needed.
