importccl: restart IMPORT on worker node failure

Attempt to detect a context canceled error in IMPORT which is caused by
a node going away in the dist SQL run. Send a special error back to the
job registry indicating a restart should happen instead of a failure.

We are shipping this with a skipped test because it is flakey. We are
ok doing that because it is still better than what we had before in many
cases, just not all. We will work to improve the other things so that we
can correctly detect when IMPORT can be restarted due to a node outage,
which will allow us to unskip this test.

Fixes #25866
Fixes #25480

Release note (bug fix): IMPORT now detects node failure and will restart
instead of fail.
