Description
We'd like to minimize any accidental exposure to lasers. Ensuring transmitters are disabled until a link is created (at which point it is reasonable that fiber has been installed) would be one part of this.

Research direction
Start with the full details in oxidecomputer/hardware-rack#219, then trace the transmitter and link-creation behavior in dendrite. Define the expected disabled state before a link exists and the enabled state after creation, and add or update tests that verify the transition.
