Description

See: https://github.com/oxidecomputer/omicron/pull/6977#discussion_r1833390541

This is true of basically any dataset creation - if we fail partway through creation, we could clean up the remaining artifacts.

This is related to https://github.com/oxidecomputer/omicron/issues/6646

Research direction

Start with the discussion in pull request 6977 and compare it with issue 6646 to understand the existing dataset-creation behavior. Trace the sled-agent dataset creation entry points and identify which partially-created artifacts are left behind on failure. Done means the cleanup behavior is defined for dataset creation failures and validated against the relevant scenarios.
