Description

Add wicket commands to:

  • Shut down a rack. Involves asking sled agent (?) to delete zones but not user data.
  • Start up a rack.

These commands are going to be required for mupdates that don't erase user data. But they should likely exist independently as well.

We already have rack init and reset defined in https://github.com/oxidecomputer/omicron/blob/7a4d7a79aef4aa16bb11227015c84d1735745beb/sled-agent/src/bootstrap/http_entrypoints.rs#L127-L157. Shutdown and startup are similar but generally do less.
