Merge pull request 'sdk1: mesh-sdk keeps only what every module shares (ADR 0593)' (#161) from feat/sdk1 into main

The check of release sdk1 failed on TestStatePutWritesAKeyWhole: TestACallIsAskedAgainOnlyWhenItReachedNoOne
left busretry's Bound at 50 ms, and on a loaded machine the state test's first pause overran it. Second failure
of the kind "tests leave package-level state set".

Quick fix: restore busretry's waits in the one test and lengthen the state test's bound.
Thorough fix (chosen, the kind met twice): busretry.Waits sets the waits and returns their restore, used as
t.Cleanup(busretry.Waits(...)) by every test that sets them, each with a bound of seconds where it waits to
succeed; and servesAlone gives every test that serves its own runtime channel and Served, put back after it,
instead of tests clearing the channel an earlier one left. A scan of every test assignment to a package-level
variable found no other unrestored one.

-# mesh-sdk for C
-
-The skeleton (novox/hq ADR 0188): `mesh_serve(name, tools, count)` speaks MCP over stdio to the
-node's tool runtime. A `mesh_tool` is a name, a description, an argument schema and a function
-returning JSON. A tool named `<seat>.<verb>` is the seat's implementation. JSON is jansson's, the
-one dependency.
-
-What it holds, under ADR 0039's test: the stdio loop and the tool type. Nothing else — no bus, no
-client, nothing of any module's. `make` and pipe a `tools/list` request into `./example`.

 From release 4a of design 47 (novox/hq ADR 0453 clause 3, ADR 0446 clause 4) it also holds the composition of a machine's declaration, over a plain input and with nothing behind it: `declaration` and `validate`, the node-engine's parser and its validator, copied from mesh-host; `catalogue`, the manifests, their resolution and rendering, and `overlay`, the private network's generator, copied from mesh-controller; `compose`, the controller's planFor, renderingFor and declarationWith as functions of an `Input` (the composition never allocates, makes, keeps or writes: what a send would do it names as foreseen or returns); `sdkversion`, which mesh-sdk version a program was built with; and, in `delivery`, the layouts of the keys the builder, the checker and the indexer write (the source fingerprint's new form, the builds, the verdicts and kept verdicts, the manifests by digest). None of them holds a bus, a store or a vault client, which `go list -deps` of `compose` shows.
