In the db33 upgrade step, the create_and_assign action is only added if the assigned state exists in the workflow.

Description

In #2045 the db33 upgrade was added that adds a <none> -> assigned action. We had a slightly simplified custom workflow without an assigned state. Now we have that dead-end action to assigned, and tickets in that state can't be closed or "unassigned".

I assume for us the solution is to change the workflow again and remove that action, add a temporary unassign action and unassign all tickets in that dead-end state.

But Trac should consider only upgrading default workflows or only actions to states that already exist.

We can check that the assigned state is defined before adding the action.

User with TICKET_ADMIN should have a special reset action, which allows tickets to be repaired when they are in states that are no longer defined. Documentation about the reset action has recently been added to TracWorkflow#BasicTicketWorkflowCustomization.
