When trying to remove a snapshot which was already removed before
and image merged, but not removed from the DB for some reason -
the RemoveSnapshot command fails and the snapshot and images stay in
the DB and cannot be removed.

The reason for this is that during RemoveSnapshotSingleDiskLiveCommand
the DestroyImage command fails (since the image does not not exist),
thus the whole command fails, and the snapshot/image are not removed
from the DB.

In the ColdMerge case, the ColdMergeSnapshotSingleDiskCommand fails
already at the PrepareMerge stage.

In this change, for both Live and Cold merge - we first check that the
Destination image (or the Top Image) exists on storage with
GetVolumeInfo. If it does not, we conclude that it was already merged
and removed, and proceed to finishing the command successfully and
removing the snapshot and the image from the DB, skipping all the
steps.

Need to check ColdMerge as well, that's why drafting it for now.
@bennyz @ahadas can you take a look?

Ended up skipping the check that the volume is not in the chain already, as Benny suggested.
If the volume is there after Merge for some reason -> the chain will be checked during MergeStatus, and if everything is fine - it will be removed during Destroy
If the volume does not exist -> then probably the Merge was completed successfully.
