revert: prevent changeset diff for non-deployed stacks (#29485)

reverts #29394, which prevented changeset creation during `cdk diff` if
a stack did not exist. The lookup of the stack to check its existence is
failing for customers that have CI/CD that won't assume the deploy role
when running CDK diff.

Long-term fix: delete the stack if it didn't exist before we created the
changeset, but wait for its state to reach `DELETE_COMPLETE` to avoid
problems with subsequent commands.

Preserves changes from #29172
