Jonathan Katz b784de80b0 Cancel software install records instead of deleting when an installer is deleted (#48127)
<!-- Add the related story/sub-task/bug number, like Resolves #123, or
remove if NA -->
**Related issue:** Resolves #47348
Does two things:
- Removes the software_installers and software_titles joins. These could
be null, but we would still want to create software install records for
these installs even if the installer or title were deleted.
- Changes every case where a host_software_installs is deleted into
setting the canceled flag to 1 on that row.

It also updates some comments. `deletePendingSoftwareInstallsForPolicy`
had a comment that said it should be called _after_ deleting a policy,
but that seems wrong and was not actually reflected in the code even
when it was originally added. It should be called _before_ deleting the
policy so that the siua.policy_id column is still available before it
gets set to null by the FK constraint. Same for
`deletePendingHostScriptExecutionsForPolicy`.

Also removes the `NOTE(mna): ...` comment, because it seems like the
code works as intended and only the comments were wrong.

# Checklist for submitter

If some of the following don't apply, delete the relevant line.

- [x] Changes file added for user-visible changes in `changes/`,
`orbit/changes/` or `ee/fleetd-chrome/changes`.
See [Changes
files](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/Contributing/guides/committing-changes.md#changes-files)
for more information.

- [ ] Input data is properly validated, `SELECT *` is avoided, SQL
injection is prevented (using placeholders for values in statements), JS
inline code is prevented especially for url redirects, and untrusted
data interpolated into shell scripts/commands is validated against shell
metacharacters.
- [ ] Timeouts are implemented and retries are limited to avoid infinite
loops
- [ ] If paths of existing endpoints are modified without backwards
compatibility, checked the frontend/CLI for any necessary changes

## Testing

- [x] Added/updated automated tests
- [ ] Where appropriate, [automated tests simulate multiple hosts and
test for host
isolation](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/Contributing/reference/patterns-backend.md#unit-testing)
(updates to one hosts's records do not affect another)

- [x] QA'd all new/changed functionality manually

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Bug Fixes**
* Prevented a 500 error when late software installation results are
reported after the related installer has been deleted.
* Pending software install entries are now preserved as **canceled**
(instead of being deleted) during installer, policy, and batch update
flows, keeping results consistent.
* Improved correctness of intermediate failure recording and
setup-experience deletion behavior, including distinguishing
**canceled** vs **removed** installs.

- Fixed a 500 error when a host reported a software install result for a deleted software installer. When an installer is deleted, records of its pending installations will be set to canceled instead of completely deleted.
