storage_scrubber: don't report half-created timelines as corruption (#…

…10198)

## Problem

test_timeline_archival_chaos does timeline creation with failure
injection, and thereby sometimes leaves timelines in a part created
state. This was being reported as corruption by the scrubber on test
teardown, because it considered a layer without an index to be an
invalid state. This was incorrect: the scrubber should accept this
state, it occurs legitimately during timeline creation.

Closes: #9988

## Summary of changes

- Report a timeline with layers but no index as Relic rather than
MissingIndexPart.
- We retain the MissingIndexPart variant for the case where an index
_was_ found in the listing, but was not found by a subsequent GET, i.e.
racing with deletion.
