Merge pull request 'A principal may hear what its consumer delivers' (#106) from fix/a-principal-may-hear-its-consumer into main

A push consumer delivers on _DELIVER.<its name>, and a client bound to it
subscribes exactly that. No principal was granted it, and the server refused
every one the first time it bound a consumer: the control plane, each machine,
and a module would have been next. Each kind is granted its own consumers'
delivery subjects and no other's. The line announcing the raised bus printed the
URL with the credential in it; the address alone now.
