cmd/k8s-operator: allow cleanup of cluster resources for deleted devices (#9917)

Users should delete proxies by deleting or modifying the k8s cluster resources
that they used to tell the operator to create they proxy. With this flow,
the tailscale operator will delete the associated device from the control.
However, in some cases users might have already deleted the device from the control manually.

Updates tailscale/tailscale#9773
