Test: OCP-56354 - Stop dependent services before stopping a service in WICD [Disruptive]

Platforms: AWS, Azure, GCP, Nutanix

Versions: 4.18, 4.19, 4.20, 4.21

Total Failures: 16 since 2026-02-12

File: test/extended/winc/winc.go, test/extended/winc/utils.go

Root Cause:

• AWS / GCP: SSH exit 255 — race condition where service check happens before node is ready (same as OCP-76765)
• Azure: Panic index out of range [-1] in getServiceProperty (utils.go) when PowerShell output is empty or single-line
• Nutanix: Bastion discovery failure + panic in getServiceProperty

Fix:

• SSH race condition: cherry-pick of #28625 → #29316 (release-4.16), #29317 (release-4.17), #29318 (release-4.18), #29319 (release-4.19), #29320 (release-4.20)
• getServiceProperty panic: cherry-pick of #27238 (utils.go only) → #29323 (release-4.17), #29324 (release-4.18), #29325 (release-4.19), #29326 (release-4.20)
