jschoubben 2a2be687f3 Keep libraries under groups of their own, and give modules users in them (hq ADR 0328, issue 567)
ADR 0328 supersedes ADR 0325: shared data is a library with one home, kept usable by
its group rather than by ACL entries. The engine now makes each library's group and
each module's user in its libraries' groups; keeps a library's root and requested
sub-paths in its group with group write and setgid on its home, making missing
sub-paths as the root is; waits for the operator's word before touching a root that
holds data, and on the take act walks it by descriptor (no link, same filesystem,
bounded and resumed, files with other names left); holds the containers of a library
whose disk or mount is not there; and puts the tool runner's account in the group.
The ACL keeping, mask repair and watch are gone; an access is again as before ADR 0325.

jschoubben 51e97a8c14 Give every module an identity and keep shared folders through ACL entries (hq ADR 0325, issue 567)
A module's containers ran as whatever their image chose and shared folders were
made writable by putting accounts in the folder's group (ADR 0312), which ADR 0325
supersedes. The engine now makes each declared module identity as a system account
with the controller's numbers, runs a container declaring `identity` as it, and keeps
each placed shared folder usable through one POSIX ACL entry per user, set through
the kernel's xattrs on descriptors it opened itself. A folder holding data is kept
only after the operator's warrant (the take act); a missing folder is made where its
data lives and waits where its disk is not; root's data is never kept. A watch and a
bounded sweep put back what an app narrows. The group grant is removed, and what it
put an account in is taken back.

Reuses the descriptor walks, the create act, the missing-path wait and the warrant-
backed act message from the paused issue 567 branch.
