tailscale: Can't rename a machine to the name of a removed machine
Describe the bug Old and deleted machines still have machine names that “occupy” the machine namespace.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Install android client and configure it
- Wipe app data
- Reconfigure client
- Try and rename the machine in the admin console to remove the
-2suffix.
Expected behavior
I expect to be able to rename “pixel-3-2” to “pixel-3”, but instead Name "pixel-3" is already taken is shown. My old pixel 3 device is not visible anywhere (because I removed it when I reset the app data).

Removing devices freed up the names starting… quite a while ago. Today I finished cleaning up old db entries from before that policy changed, so those old names should be available for reuse again.
