Subject: [PATCH] delete terraform state lock

When the workflow is cancelled, either manually, or automatically from a long-running step (timeout), the terraform state lock had to be manually deleted, or else the next workflow run would never succeed. This change ensures that the state lock file is always deleted after each run.
