A pair credential is sealed to the operator key too

The secret the vault provides a module is the credential of the consumer↔vault
pair, and so is every credential a provider grants; sealing only own secrets
to the operator left exactly those unrecoverable. Same column, same call; the
export and `secret recover` address a pair by consumer node, module and the
provision's name, and say which kind each entry is.
