mesh/delivery superseded: a newer head of the same pull request

A merge built every moved module a second time although its check had judged
the same tree (issue 649). The check now builds into the scratch namespace
under a reuse key (source fingerprint plus the builder's own digest), and the
walk of the trunk commit copies a build of the same key by digest instead of
building, saying per module why when it cannot (novox/hq ADR 0350).

// One build per change (novox/hq ADR 0350).
//
// **The merge check builds what the merge would move** (§1): every artifact of every module the delivery plan
// moves, from the merged tree it checks, into the artifact store's scratch namespace — never a module's own —
// kept under a **reuse key**: the source fingerprint as the build takes it (the module's tree, its contexts' trees,
// its bases and toolchains by digest; issue 280) with the builder's own version and, for an upstream artifact, the
// image it copies. **The walk of a trunk commit takes that build** (§2): before building, it takes the reuse key
// of the trunk commit's tree the same way, and where a check build holds the same key it copies it by digest into
// the module's namespace and answers with that, building nothing. Otherwise it builds and says why (§3): no check
// built it, the key differs (naming the part), or the check build is gone; a copy that fails is said and built.
//
// **What the key names is what a fresh build could differ by.** The tree is every file the recipe and the
// compiler see; the contexts are the other repositories it reads, by tree; the bases and toolchains are what it
// stands on, by digest; the builder's version is how it is built. A build whose source does not pin it — one that
// resolves packages from the mesh's registry when it is built, or copies an upstream image named by tag — has no
// key, and is always built.
// Version is this builder's own version, as the reuse key takes it: the digest of the running executable, so any
// change to how it builds is a change of key (§1). Set once by the build seat's holder (SelfVersion); empty — no
// key, every build its own — when it cannot be said.
