What this PR does / why we need it:
See longhorn/longhorn#6552 (comment) for context. It may be possible to delete engine and replica processes from an instance-manager even when the instance-manager's state is unknown. Doing so prevents the processes from becoming orphans if the instance-manager eventually recovers from the unknown state.
This PR is looking good in some local testing, but I want to put it through a few more paces before review.
