Merge pull request 'Give /var/lib/systemd and /var/lib/postgres back to their packages and keep the two modules' own files under /var/lib/mesh (issue 1873, delivery A)' (#453) from fix/1873-system-state-dirs into main

The systemd and postgres modules' state directories said place ".", which is
/var/lib/systemd and /var/lib/postgres: directories the systemd and postgresql
packages own (root 0755; postgres 0700). The node-engine took both before issue
339's rule and gave them to the operator's account, 0700, on every machine; postgres's
grants directory, placed by default, lay inside /var/lib/postgres too.

What each module keeps moves to a directory of its own, "data", placed "mesh"
(/var/lib/mesh/systemd, /var/lib/mesh/postgres): the unlink record, and postgres's
own secrets (the same values: the vault keys them by name), consumers.json and
grants. The store's data stays /var/lib/mesh-store, untouched.

The node-engine keeps no found owner or mode for a directory, and forgets one no
longer declared as it stands; it sets the declared owner and mode on a directory it
recorded at the same path under the same id. So for this delivery "state" names
the package's directory with the package's owner and mode, and the engine gives it
back; the next change drops "state". The postgres container is recreated, its
secret's volume moving.

checks/owned/system-known keeps systemd state and postgres state, declared for
this delivery only; postgres's consumers and grants leave the list.
