Description

#3929 added wicket preflight uplink for prior-to-RSS uplink checks, but it only checks the uplink(s) for the local switch where wicketd is running. To check uplinks configured for both switches, an operator must run the command (and upload the RSS config) to both scrimlets. We should support checking the uplinks for both switches from either scrimlet.

Research direction

Start by tracing the wicket preflight uplink implementation added in #3929 and how it selects uplinks for the local switch. Confirm how the RSS configuration and remote switch are represented; done means the command checks uplinks for both switches when run from either scrimlet.
