jochen a9acd3dd28 Keep the scheduled run's served slot in a folder of root's alone, written never through a link
mesh/merge-gate pass: builds zfs, sent nowhere; no bus step; every machine composes with the change as it did without (4 of 4 compose)
mesh/repo-check pass: its merge-check.sh passed
mesh/delivery delivered
Third review of #147. The run writes as root into /var/lib/zfs-scrub (0700, root's), apart from the
operator account's error counts in /var/lib/zfs-tools, and refuses a folder that is a link, open to
others or someone else's, and a file that is a link: a new file opened O_NOFOLLOW|O_EXCL, renamed over.

jochen bd0182785c Run the scrub schedule as a scheduled process, never pause a scrub, and keep the pool's name the only setting in a unit

mesh/delivery superseded: a newer head of the same pull request
The second review of #147 found three blockers before the home server.

1. ${setting:} was not filled in a unit's name, so the distribution timers would have reached the
   machine as "zfs-scrub-weekly@${setting:scrub-pool}.timer". mesh-controller #171 fills it and refuses
   any value that is not a unit-name part. The module's own schedule needs no setting in a name now: the
   node-engine's timer for the scheduled process zfs-mesh-scrub fires `zfs-tools scrub-run` every quarter
   of an hour, and the run reads the pool, cadence, day and time from the configuration file.
2. The run does what upstream's zfs-scrub@.service does: if a scrub is running it waits for it with
   zpool wait -t scrub, otherwise it starts one and waits. It never pauses or stops a scrub, and the unit
   has no ExecStop. A resilver defers the scrub. The served slot is kept in /var/lib/zfs-tools.
3. Unassigning left the pool with no schedule. mesh-host #66 (hq ADR 0269, proposed) gives the
   distribution timer back running and enabled. The README says not to unassign before it is merged.

Also: the run comes before the distribution timers in the declaration; the day and time are checked
against fixed sets and reach no unit file (an invalid value runs nothing); a due scrub not started an
hour after its time is a warning; the error counts outlive a restart in a small state file.
