The consume side behind a seam, and the window wiring into the loop

The outbound half went behind `Bus` and the transport stopped reaching its
callers; this is the other half, and the larger one. Every handler took
`amqp.Delivery`, so the serving loop could not move to another bus without
moving enrolment, reports, builds, upgrades and catch-up with it in one breath.

`Control` states one message in the mesh's words — took it, dropped it, or held
it for the store — and `Inbound` is where messages come from. The AMQP
implementation is today's loop moved rather than changed: same queues, same
prefetch, same holding, because the mesh is running on it and a bus nothing
speaks yet is no reason to alter the one every node is on.

The window (window.go) is now what decides, instead of the conditions that were
inlined in the loop. Two things that surfaced in the wiring:

**Supersession is asked before the store, not after.** A report about a
declaration the mesh has moved past would otherwise wait out a restarting store
to be written and then overwrite what the node is doing now.

**Half of a report is not about a declaration, and that half is never stale.**
What the machine *is* — the tunnel it took over, the ports its own bundle
holds, what an adopted node found, a node moving its overlay key — reaches the
mesh on a report and nowhere else. A rekey set aside as stale is a node whose
overlay key never moves, and no retry is coming, because the node said it once.
So staleness is asked only of a report that is purely an apply's account.

The one thing holding-in-memory can do that holding-in-the-server cannot is
named rather than hidden: `About` sets aside a held message when a newer one
about the same thing arrives, and the bus being built ignores it because the
digest answers the same question.
