mesh-grants: the bus module's keeper reads its warrant on the account composed from nats' manifest

Review round 1, running F4 (design 25 § 12.7), moved here from the nats test by the lead: in the composed-grants case
of the whole test, the part composes nats and messenger from their manifests (testdata copies of the catalogue's at
the join); the keeper connects on its own process account to a server loading the composed list, reads the router's
record of its ask, and is refused a write to the router's asks and the part's state and another asker's record.
