jschoubben aecac5bda2 One bus: the AMQP transport is gone from the controller
The mesh runs on the seat's bus alone (novox/hq ADR 0131, design 28 task 5.5). The old
transport's consume loop, build request, tool ask, management API and account scoping are
deleted, and the bus switch with them; the controller connects to the broker seat and to
nothing else. The store-window tests keep their assertions on a bus-less fake, and the tests
that only made sense for the old transport's in-memory holding go with it.
