rotate: narrow a pair credential to one consuming module (hq issue 268)

A machine runs many consumers of one provision, each with its own
credential. When one module leaks its credential, `rotate <provision>
--consumer <machine>` was the narrowest act and replaced every module's
on that machine, restarting all of them. --module (and the verb's
module argument beside provision) rotates only that module's.
