Report the pending phase when the listener is rebuilt

Moving update detection to metadata.generation lost a signal. The desired
listener is built from the AutoscalingRunnerSet's labels and annotations as
well as its spec, and any difference there deletes the listener so it can
be re-created. metadata.generation only moves on spec writes, so a
label-only edit still tore the listener down while the scale set kept
reporting Running. If the rebuild then failed, it reported Running with no
listener indefinitely. Under the old label-inclusive hash the phase did
move, so this was a regression.

Mark the resource pending at the point the listener is deleted rather than
trying to infer it from the generation. That is what the phase already
means: its own doc comment says pending is when the listener is not yet
started. It also covers the case properly, because it keys off the actual
decision to rebuild instead of guessing from the trigger.

This does not change when the listener is rebuilt. A label-only edit
recreates it today and still does; only the reported phase changes. The
earlier claim that labels no longer restart anything was wrong: labels are
propagated to the listener, so editing one is a restart. What
metadata.generation changes is narrower than that, and the test now covers
the listener's identity across a label edit rather than implying it is
untouched.
