mesh/delivery superseded: a newer head of the same pull request

A module that declares a setting and owns a mergeable file naming no keys
still let every key reach that file. The refusal was held back in #272
because betterbird was one; mesh-catalog #252 named its keys, and every
module in mesh-catalog and mesh-media-catalog main now passes, so the
module check and registration refuse it again. A stored definition is
still composed as it is, never left out of a machine.
