Opens issue 289 with status located.

During a controller update, a seat verb answered by the old controller failed with permission denied. The controller runs each verb by executing its own binary, and it found that binary by its current path. The witness had already moved the running build into a 0700 directory, and it deletes that directory once the new build is proved.

The report records:

the order of a witnessed update;
the three fixes: the controller now runs its verbs from its running image and refuses with a retryable handover answer, the node-engine keeps a replaced build reachable and deletes it only once no process runs from it, and the node tools ask once more on a handover refusal;
the tests;
what is still open: to-be 45 §8 should state when a kept build may be deleted.

Fixed by mesh-controller #108, mesh-host #48, mesh-tools #20.

Checks: records.py, cycle.py and index.py pass. mesh-controller check-here passes.
