[Bug 1089291] Re: destroy-machine --force

[James Page]

** Description changed:

- Unresponsive machine agents may require that we forcibly set the machine
- to Dead to allow the provisioning agent to release its instance.
+ [Impact]
+ Unresponsive machines cannot be removed/destroyed, consuming resourcs.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ This of course requires a unresponsive machine; however this can be simulated by destroying a machine that is still installing.
+ 
+ juju destroy-machine <machineid> # will fail
+ 
+ juju destroy-machine --force <machineid> # will succeed
+ 
+ [Regression potential]
+ Part of the upstream tested 1.16.6 point release.
+ 
+ [Original bug report]
+ Unresponsive machine agents may require that we forcibly set the machine to Dead to allow the provisioning agent to release its instance.
