Jinwoo Hong 6c913a917f fix(relay-ops): roll a cell a wave stranded after its drain (#21321)
* fix(relay-ops): roll a cell a wave stranded after its drain

A wave that stops any time after its drain leaves the cell migration-only and
draining on the rollback image, and nothing clears it: the drain flag is a
one-way latch on the running process, and the failsafe restarts nothing. Both
recovery modes then refuse the cell. Apply wants it general and not draining.
Rollback sees the rollback image, reads it as a resume, refuses the draining,
and would not have restarted it anyway.

The image alone cannot separate a rollback that failed after its template apply
from a wave that stopped before one. The restart can: the first left a fresh
process, the second did not. Classify on that, so the cell that never restarted
takes the rolling path instead of the resuming one.

Its template still carries the image it serves, so that is the predecessor its
plan is reviewed against, and a template already moved on to the target is
refused rather than rolled backwards under a stale review. When the reviewed
template is already in place the plan changes nothing, so the MIG is rolled
explicitly on the same replacement policy a template change uses; the existing
incarnation check is what proves the instance came back.

Every other combination of mode, live image, and drain flag keeps the value it
had, held by a census that runs the real block over all nine.

* fix(relay-ops): pin the replacement method on the explicit MIG roll

gcloud persists every rolling-action bound into the group's update policy, and
it defaults the replacement method to substitute on a group with no stateful
config. Passing surge and unavailable without the method would patch the policy
off the declared RECREATE, and the next targeted plan would then carry a MIG
change outside version.0.instance_template, which the plan validator refuses.

Pass all three so the patch is identical to the declared policy, and read the
declared values in the census instead of restating two of them. Dropping the
flag, or moving any of the three in Terraform, now fails the census.
