jschoubben 6c12780abe Describe the bus on its own terms
Comments framed the new bus by what it replaces — a comparison in almost
every explanation, which reads as though NATS were a variant of the old
thing rather than the mesh's nervous system. Removed throughout, and
OverAMQP becomes OverCurrent: the seam's two sides are the bus the mesh
runs on today and the one being built, not two protocols.

What remains is the client library's own package name, which is its name.

// Bus is what the controller needs of the mesh's bus, **in the mesh's own words rather than a
// transport's** (novox/hq ADR 0116 step 3).
//
// Until now every one of these functions took the transport's own channel type, so the transport
// reached every caller and changing it meant touching all of them. The seam is small — the
// controller sends exactly two kinds of message that expect no answer, and asks two kinds of
// question — which is why the bus can be replaced at all.
//
// Two implementations live below, and both ship until the rollout (ADR 0116: nothing moves a
// node's bus before step 5). Both shipping is what makes them comparable — the same caller, the
// same arguments, and one conformance fixture holding them to one envelope.
