Subject: [PATCH] OCPBUGS-81630: Fix unnecessary error on Node Terminal tab

Show a loading spinner while the debug pod is being created, instead of
briefly flashing "Debug pod not found or was deleted." The error occurred
because useK8sWatchResource(null) returns loaded=true before pod creation
completes.
