PBENCH-1219

Large uploads can time out, causing the client (e.g., the 0.69 passthrough server's dispatch) to retry. Eventually, this will result in an OK (200) response, which is good. However if we retry before the original operation finishes (it may be still running, despite the client timeout), we catch the already existing "temporary intake directory" as a CONFLICT error.

Unfortunately, the cleanup logic doesn't recognize this distinction, and still deleted the intake directory on exit. Timed correctly, this could break the original upload: at best, it results in a noisy termination with complaints that the previously-existing temporary directory no longer exists.

Fix this problem by attempting to delete only when this API instance has successfully created the temporary directory. Modify the CONFLICT unit test case to reproduce the situation more accurately and additionally validate that the directory still exists after completion.

Large uploads can time out, causing the client (e.g., the 0.69 passthrough
server's dispatch) to retry. Eventually, this will result in an `OK` (200)
response, which is good. However if we retry before the original operation
finishes (it may be still running, despite the client timeout), we catch the
already existing "temporary intake directory" as a `CONFLICT` error.

Unfortunately, the cleanup logic doesn't recognize this distinction, and still
deleted the intake directory on exit. Timed correctly, this could break the
original upload: at best, it results in a noisy termination with complaints
that the existed temporary directory no longer exists.

successfully created the temporary directory. Modify the `CONFLICT` unit test
