jschoubben 3fbf658c16 Two consumers may share a name; they must not share a delivery subject
novox/hq 04-ISSUES/146. A push consumer delivers onto an ordinary subject and
everything subscribed to it gets a copy. The controller holds a consumer called
'controller' on CONTROL and another called 'controller' on EVENTS, and both were
given _DELIVER.controller — so the one process, holding both subscriptions,
acted on every message twice.

Measured: one enrolment published, one message in the stream, one delivery, no
redelivery, and the controller enrolled the machine twice — the second minting a
credential that replaced the one the machine had just been handed, which is why
it then reconnected for ever as a user whose password the mesh had rotated. Every
report and every followed event doubled the same way, silently.

The stream goes in the subject because the pair is what identifies a consumer.
A subscriber's permission gains the same shape, keeping the bare name so an
existing consumer keeps working until the next assertion moves it.
