Description
Once #6173 lands, users need a way to be able to test what happens to their system if an instance's sled is vacated for servicing. For example, if an instance's disposition is to migrate on host maintenance, the "simulate maintenance" API will schedule a migration of the sort that the control plane would schedule if it were actually vacating the instance's host sled. If the disposition is instead to stop the instance, the control plane will do that instead.
See RFD 494 for more information.

Research direction
Start with RFD 494 and issue #6173, then trace the control-plane API entry point for instance operations. The facility is done when it can simulate host-sled maintenance by scheduling migration for instances with that disposition and stopping instances with the stop disposition.
