Issue the provisioner client its own account when its module declares no broker
The catalogue's mesh-provisioner-client declares only provisioner-broker:
the client speaks on the bus as itself. module issue refused it for
lacking a broker, assign minted nothing, and push refused it for lacking
an account, so no machine could run the client (issue 917).

// The things the mesh can be asked to do, separated from how it was asked.
//
// **A surface is an adapter with no decisions in it** (novox/hq ADR 0035). The command line and
// the command API call the same functions here, so an assignment refused at one is refused at the
// other for the same reason and in the same words. The moment a surface can accept something
// another would reject, the mesh has two answers to one question and people learn which to trust.
//
// Each returns what happened as text a person can read and a caller can pass on. Neither surface
// composes its own explanation, because two explanations of one refusal drift.
// assign puts a module on a node, and says at once what in the mesh no longer works out.
//
// The assignment is kept even when the node does not resolve: it is what a person meant, and
// assignment is not an ordering. A consumer assigned before its provider does not resolve for as
// long as it takes to assign the provider, and refusing the first half of a pair would make the
// order somebody types two commands in part of the mesh's rules.
//
// **What is checked is the mesh, not the one machine** — because that is what the assignment
// changes. novox/hq 04-ISSUES/017 names the shape: an action can succeed into a state its own
// verify rejects, and it happens when the action's test is not the test the verify uses. Here the
// action tested one node and the verify is resolution over all of them, so an assignment could be
// reported as fine while it took a provision away from every other machine — a module offering a
// mesh-scoped provision stops offering it the moment its own node stops resolving, and every
// consumer elsewhere is then told *nothing in this mesh provides it*, with a remedy that names a
// module already assigned. That was found on a four-node raise and read as a version bump breaking
// provider recognition; it was neither the version nor the provider.
//
// It costs a resolution per machine. Assignment is a person typing a command, and being told which
// machines this just blocked is worth more than the milliseconds.
