Multipass can't delete LXD instances that go into Error state

To CLARIFY the above, even this very latest Edge Channel version of Multipass cannot reliably delete its own VM's / instances: ``` # multipass --version multipass 1.12.0-dev.379+g6cfdc875 multipassd 1.12.0-dev.379+g6cfdc875 #...

[windows] Installer shouldn't ask to remove all data during package upgrades

Multipass instances seem to disappear without warning in the past month especially, including on Canonical's own mainline OS (Ubuntu 22.04). Multipass would benefit from a more public roadmap, outlining 2022-2024...
