dendrite unresponsive in racktest.

This is on a sidecar that has passed loopback testing but rebooting of the sidecar and scrimlet in that order return us to this same state where dendrite is running but not responding.

We tried restarting dendrite service, ending up in the same spot, and also then powered both the scrimlet and sidecar off and brought them back online, ending up in the same spot.

Start with the captured log at /staff/core/dendrite-164 and the svc:/oxide/dendrite:default service status. Reproduce the sidecar and scrimlet reboot sequence, then inspect where the firmware-loading messages stop responding. Done means the cause is identified and dendrite responds after the documented restart or reboot sequence.
