jschoubben 1c56210530 Name system seats by scope; let a module define its own (ADR 0121)
System seats are mesh-* (one, mesh-wide) or node-* (one per node). Renamed:
the-build-machine -> mesh-build-machine (+scope mesh), the-catalogue ->
mesh-catalog, the-dns-port -> node-dns-resolver, the-intrusion-prevention ->
node-intrusion-prevention, the-packet-filter -> node-packet-filter,
the-resolver-configuration -> node-resolver-config, the-uplink -> node-uplink.
Removed the-showcase from the set — it becomes the first module-defined seat.

A manifest may declare its own seats (DefinesSeats); a claim is a system seat,
a reserved mesh-*/node-* name the mesh does not define (refused), or a
module-defined seat valid only when the manifest declares it.

Deferred: the delivering registry seats (git, npm-package-registry,
the-artifact-store) and the-private-network (a scope + server/client model
change), per ADR 0121.

// The seats a mesh can have (novox/hq ADR 0110).
//
// **A closed set, defined here rather than by whoever claims one.** Until this, a well-formed name
// became a seat by being claimed, so nothing could say which seats a mesh has or who fills them:
// `the-showcase` and `the-build-machine` were each invented by the module claiming it. The set is
// what a person reads to learn what a mesh can have, so an entry nobody argued for is an entry
// nobody can explain — the same reason every shape in the host's vocabulary names its decision.
//
// A seat is held by a module assignment. What the mesh knows about a holder is what it knows about
// that assignment; nothing about holders is kept here or anywhere else.
// Seat is one role the mesh defines.

Delivers string
// Decision is the record that made it a seat.
Decision string
