jochen 263c86d2e5 betterbird: withhold account values in the user.js answer, never write a shared outgoing server, and say a newer Owl as a fact (review 34, hq issue 345, ADR 0317)
The user.js answer carried declared addresses and hosts (ADR 0316 §16). An
adopted identity's outgoing server may be shared with an account the module
does not own, whose sending the declared values would change at every start:
refused with the remedy, since ADR 0317 §2 leaves the identity's server and
the lists as they are; a recorded adoption follows the identity's current
server. Owl installed by policy cannot be removed, so a newer Owl than the
pin is a fact whose remedy is moving the pin.

// The betterbird module's Go tools bundle (novox/hq ADR 0188, ADR 0193, ADR 0208): Betterbird, the
// mail and calendar client, in the operator's session, served by the node's runtime as the operator
// account. The module holds no seat, so every tool is its own.
//
// The operator's mail, calendars, accounts and credentials are never read: a tool reads processes,
// profiles.ini, and of the profile only prefs.js, user.js and extensions.json, and answers no
// preference that can hold a credential or names an account.
