Don’t ack if unable to remove failing replica (#39584)

Today when a replicated write operation fails to execute on a replica,
the primary will reach out to the master to fail that replica (and mark
it stale). We then won't ack that request until the master removes the
failing replica; otherwise, we will lose the acked operation if the
failed replica is still in the in-sync set. However, if a node with the
primary is shutting down, we might ack such request even though we are
unable to send a shard-failure request to the master. This happens
because we ignore NodeClosedException which is triggered when the
ClusterService is being closed.

Closes #39467
