[FLINK-8559][RocksDB] Release resources if snapshot operation fails ## What is the purpose of the change This PR ensures that RocksDB resources are released if `RocksDBIncrementalSnapshotOperation#takeSnapshot` throws an Exception. We now catch the exception, cancel the SnapshotOperation, and re-throw the original exception. ## Verifying this change I've verified this manually by running `JobManagerHACheckpointRecoveryITCase` on Windows where `takeSnapshot` fails due to FLINK-8557. I couldn't come up with proper test. The method hardly does anything in the first place and every solution i could think of would depend a lot on implementation details (like mocking `Checkpoint.create()` to throw an exception). ## Does this pull request potentially affect one of the following parts: - Dependencies (does it add or upgrade a dependency): (no) - The public API, i.e., is any changed class annotated with `@Public(Evolving)`: (no) - The serializers: (no) - The runtime per-record code paths (performance sensitive): (no) - Anything that affects deployment or recovery: JobManager (and its components), Checkpointing, Yarn/Mesos, ZooKeeper: (no) - The S3 file system connector: (no) ## Documentation - Does this pull request introduce a new feature?
