The roster is the machines: each node's internal domain covers its routes (hq ADR 0191)

The roster published routed names — public ones first, then (in this PR's first take) internal ones
told apart by suffix. Neither is needed: a node has one internal domain and every route on it is a
name under it, answered by the resolver's per-node wildcard; a node's public domains are public
DNS's. routeNamesInTheMesh and NamesServed are removed, and a test pins .Names to the machines.

// routeNamesInTheMesh is every routed name and the address of the node that serves it (novox/hq
// ADR 0066).
//
// **Mesh-wide, so any container resolves any routed name to its proxy** — including an internal
// ACME validator, which cannot complete a challenge for a name it cannot reach. A routed name is
// composed on the consumer's node (from its label and that node's public domain) and served by the
// node answering the consumer's route requirement; this gathers both.
//
// It reads route names off resolutions rather than a table because there is no table: a route is a
// contribution, computed from what each node runs. Name-agnostic — a contribution counts as a
// routed name only because it carried a label the mesh composed, never because the mesh knows what
// "route" means. A node that does not resolve is skipped, so one machine's broken set does not cost
// the rest their names.
//
// **A node that could not be READ is a different matter and is raised.** Skipping one states, to
// every machine at once, that its names do not exist — and since the roster is part of every
// container's identity, that withdraws them and replaces every container (novox/hq 04-ISSUES/152,
// 151). So every failure here says which machine and which read, because the alternative is a
// mesh-wide refusal with nothing named in it.
