Store optional requirements beside a plain requires list (hq issue 166, review of #281)
A controller older than optional requirements reads `requires` as names, and Inventory.Catalogue
stops at the first manifest it cannot read: the long form stored inside `requires` would have left
a rollback below this controller composing no machine. Stored, `requires` stays plain and the
optional names sit in `optional-requires`, a key an older controller sets aside, leaving out only
the module carrying it. A refusal of a hard requirement now names a module that wants it hard.

// A requirement a module can run without (novox/hq ADR 0330, issue 166).
//
// **Hard stays the default.** A requirement written as a bare name is hard, exactly as before: it
// resolves, or the assignment is refused, and a single catalogue candidate is installed for it. One
// written `{"name": "influxdb-api", "optional": true}` resolves the same way when a provider is
// already assigned in the mesh or reachable from the consumer (§2), and is otherwise **absent**: not
// refused, and nothing is installed for it, on this machine or elsewhere (§3).
//
// **An absent requirement is never rendered as an empty value** (§4–§6). Its binding, its pair
// credential and its grant are not composed, so a file that names one of them is delivered only while
// the requirement is bound (`only-when-bound`), and a `${bound:…}` placeholder of it outside such a
// file names the value it takes while absent: `${bound:<provision>:<key>|default:<value>}`. The
// module check refuses anything else, so the gap is found when the manifest is written, not on a
// machine where it reads as a blank.
// OnlyWhenBound is a resource's field naming the optional requirement it is delivered only while
// bound (ADR 0330 §5). Said in the catalogue and dropped before the declaration is sent: the
// node-engine parses strictly and knows no such field.
