importer: only check import *atomicity* in TestImportWorkerFailure
Five years ago, in cockroachdb#26881, we changed import to retry on worker failures, which made imports much more resilient to transient failures like nodes going down. As part of this work we created `TestImportWorkerFailure` which shuts down one node during an import, and checks that the import succeeded. Unfortunately, this test was checked-in skipped, because though imports were much more resilient to node failures, they were not completely resilient in every possible scenario, making the test flakey. Two months ago, in cockroachdb#105712, we unskipped this test and discovered that in some cases the import statement succeeded but only imported a partial dataset. This non-atomicity seems like a bigger issue than whether the import is able to succeed in every possible transient failure scenario, and is tracked separately in cockroachdb#108547. This PR changes `TestImportWorkerFailure` to remove successful import as a necessary condition for test success. Instead, the test now only checks whether the import was atomic; that is, whether a successful import imported all data or a failed import imported none. This is more in line with what we can guarantee about imports today. Fixes: cockroachdb#102839 Release note: None
