Bad table config may result in Zombie tables

See original GitHub issue

Issue faced by user:

hey folks, does anyone have experience with “zombie” tables?  I attempted to add a tableSpec but was missing a field in the
config.  This resulted in a null pointer exception when Pinot processed the config.  As a result, the table doesn’t exist in the 
UI or by querying the list API, but I can’t create a table with the same name due to receiving an error that “table already 
exists”.  Presumably the spec reached ZK or something, but no where else? What can be done to remove the zombie table?

Fix has been merged. We now do a full ZK metadata cleanup in case there is any failure during the table creation process.
