mesh/delivery superseded: a newer head of the same pull request

A release's own gates held its other sends back for ever; an adopted send
lost what the machine ran before; a kept send could grow a build no gate
passed; a take-over matched by commit alone; a rest that went silent ended
done. The node-engine and the resolver still go one machine at a time, since
a fault that cuts a machine off shows only as silence.
