influxdb: provide influxdb-api, one mesh-made v1 credential per consumer

grafana's data source and Node-RED's influxdb nodes reached ace's
InfluxDB by a LAN IP or a public name nobody routes, with a credential
somebody made by hand. Now a consumer requires influxdb-api and is told
where it is, which org and default bucket it serves, and signs in with
the password the mesh minted for the pair.

The credential is a v1-compatibility authorization, made per grant by
the new provisioner: InfluxDB 2.x generates API tokens itself and
ignores one the caller sends, so a v2 token could only be accepted by
hand per pair; a v1 authorization takes a caller-chosen password (8-72
characters, the mesh mints 40) and reads/writes every bucket as a
database of its name over InfluxQL and line protocol. A consumer
contributes `access` (read, write, read-write) and, for writing, the
buckets; a missing bucket is made and never deleted. Only
authorizations named mesh_* and marked [mesh] are ever changed or
removed; anything else of that name is refused and left alone.

The org and default bucket are served facts the assignment's settings
set, reaching both the consumers and the provisioner's config.json.

// What holds influxdb to the `influxdb-api` provision (grants.ts): one v1 authorization per consumer,
// under the username and password the mesh gave, allowed only what the consumer contributed; made
// once and brought back on every apply; buckets created when missing and never deleted; and an
// authorization the mesh did not make — same name or not — never adopted, changed or deleted.
//
// InfluxDB is a fake: the routes the module touches, answering with the status codes and shapes
// InfluxDB 2.9 gives (a filter matching nothing is a 404, a password outside 8–72 characters a 400,
// an inactive authorization or a wrong password a 401 on /query). Run against the compiled module
// (npm test builds first), the way the runtime loads it.
