Previously, when cleaning up type descriptors from a failed restore, we
would directly delete the system.descriptor entry. This is bad because
writing directly to the system.descriptor table means we bypass the
descriptor collection, which doesn't know these descriptors have been
dropped.
The descriptor collection validates all uncommitted descriptors before
writing them. As the descriptor collection doesn't know type
descriptors have been dropped, validating cross references was always
bound to fail. Put another way, if a restore from a backup which
contained user defined types failed for any reason, we were bound to
require manual cleanup.
This patch fixes this problem by going through the descriptor
collection and writing the descriptor in DROPPED state in addition to
deleting the system.descriptor entry.
Release note (bug fix): Fixed a bug where a failed restore from a
backup including user defined types would require manual cleanup.
