mesh/delivery delivered

The tools' token reached everything the administrator may do, so their boundary rested on their own guards.
The gitea module now makes a plain account, mesh-tools, with the admin login, gives it write on code, issues
and pull requests of every novox repository through one team, and mints the tools' token for it; the admin's
old token goes only after the new one is kept. The Go forge bundle sends that token, never the admin login.
The forge shows protection rules only to a repository administrator, so every check reads a branch's
protection from the branch. mesh-admin stays a ready author, so marks made before the move keep counting.
