jschoubben 54557b77bf keycloak: provide oidc-client, one mesh-made client per consumer
A module that logs people in through Keycloak had to be given a client by
hand, with its secret copied into the consumer's environment. As a provision
the mesh derives the client id (the consumer's identity, mesh_<node>_<module>)
and mints its secret, and delivers both ends: keycloak creates exactly that
confidential client, the consumer names it through ${bound:oidc-client:as}.

The consumer says where its browser comes back to (`callback`) and which
endpoint it is reached on (`label`/`endpoint`), so the redirect is built from
the same names the mesh composes for its route. keycloak serves the issuer and
the endpoint paths under it; the issuer is the one value an assignment sets,
and the realm is read out of it, so consumer and client cannot disagree.

Only what the mesh made is touched: its clients carry mesh.provisioned=true;
a client of the same id without the mark is refused, never adopted, updated
or deleted. The runtime now gets the admin password as a file, which its
tools also needed and never had.

// keycloak's provisioner — the adapter that makes keycloak a provider of the mesh `oidc-client`
// interface. The reconcile loop, the contributions file and reading the mesh's minted secret are the
// sdk harness's; this writes only the per-service half: how Keycloak creates, checks and removes a
// consumer's client (novox/hq ADR 0039/0040/0048). What a client is, and which ones are the mesh's,
// is in ../oidc.ts.
//
// The `oidc-client` interface: a consumer logs people in through the realm this module serves, as
// the confidential client `as` with the secret the mesh minted, and is redirected back to the
// callback it contributed under the names the mesh composed for its endpoint. What it is served —
// the issuer and the endpoint paths under it — is in the manifest's `serves`, settled with the
// assignment's settings.
//
// **The realm is read out of the issuer**, the one value an assignment sets (settings reach both the
// served facts and this module's config.json): a realm set in one place and an issuer in another
// would let the consumer be told one realm while its client is made in another.
