Apply through one queue, and order what is applied and reported (hq to-be 45 Phase 2)

A delivery and the five-minute reconcile were two paths that applied, ordered only by a lock, and
each order it allowed was met live (issues 257, 261, 267). Now both only enqueue: one worker takes
the newest declaration held when it starts, applies it once and makes one report, and reports leave
in the order they are made.

A declaration may carry the controller's lease epoch beside its sequence; one older than what this
node applied is refused before anything is touched, counted, logged and reported. A report carries
the declaration's epoch and sequence and the host's own report sequence, kept on disk so it goes on
increasing across restarts and self-updates. Without an epoch, today's behaviour stands.
