A grant file and a provisioned login name the module too

Browse Source 
novox/hq 04-ISSUES/022: a consumer is a module on a machine, not a
machine. The mesh now writes <node>.<module>.secret and the provisioners
name the role and the access key after both.

The fixtures here write what the mesh writes, so they move with it —
that is the whole point of them, and a fixture that kept the old shape
would agree with the bug rather than catch it.

The object-store assertions are the ones that mattered most: one store
holds every bucket behind one endpoint, so isolation is a policy rather
than a property. One access key per machine meant every module on a node
shared it, and the policy confining each consumer to its own bucket
confined none of them.

containing it. The consequence is a good one: the readable half stays readable, and the secret
