[knz]

Backport 1/1 commits from #70673.

/cc @cockroachdb/release

Found by @jbowens in #70637.
We'll want to backport this. cc @joshimhoff

Release note (bug fix): The exit status of the cockroach command
did not follow the previously-documented table of exit status codes
when an error occurred during the command start-up. (Only errors
occuring after startup were reported using the correct code.)
This defect has been fixed. This bug had existed ever since reference
exit status codes had been introduced.

Release justification: bug fix necessary for monitoring and orchestration

[blathers-crl]

Thanks for opening a backport.

Please check the backport criteria before merging:

• Patches should only be created for serious issues.
• Patches should not break backwards-compatibility.
• Patches should change as little code as possible.
• Patches should not change on-disk formats or node communication protocols.
• Patches should not add new functionality.
• Patches must not add, edit, or otherwise modify cluster versions; or add version gates.

If some of the basic criteria cannot be satisfied, ensure that the exceptional criteria are satisfied within.

• There is a high priority need for the functionality that cannot wait until the next release and is difficult to address in another way.
• The new functionality is additive-only and only runs for clusters which have specifically “opted in” to it (e.g. by a cluster setting).
• New code is protected by a conditional check that is trivial to verify and ensures that it only runs for opt-in clusters.
• The PM and TL on the team that owns the changed code have signed off that the change obeys the above rules.

Add a brief release justification to the body of your PR to justify this backport.

Some other things to consider:

• What did we do to ensure that a user that doesn’t know & care about this backport, has no idea that it happened?
• Will this work in a cluster of mixed patch versions? Did we test that?
• If a user upgrades a patch version, uses this feature, and then downgrades, what happens?
