Move the joining token's shape into mesh-sdk, so the vault that makes it, mesh-cli and the engine read one type

From the lease write the vault makes the token (ADR 0587 §3), mesh-cli opens and prints it, and the node-engine
parses it: three repositories, so the type leaves mesh-host's internal/identity (which keeps an alias) for
go/delivery, field names unchanged from the controller's token issue, the tunnel kept (the lead's settlement 7).
Encode is added, refusing a token with a part missing. The test reads a token the controller's own code made and
encodes it back to the same line. Paid by merging TestGateBuckets into TestKeysOfPlainNamesAreUnchanged.
