Prove a write by compare-and-set loses no update under contention, on a real bus (hq research 042)
The issues module will hand out numbers through mesh/state.create and update. Two writers incrementing one
counter a thousand times each through the module's bus now end at two thousand with every number handed out
once; a stale, zero or future revision is refused with the lost-write code and writes nothing; a deleted key
can be created again; and the lost-write code reaches a bundle wrapped or not, and no other refusal carries it.
Both runtime tests run in the check's bundleless list, so mesh/repo-check runs them.

Part of the issue tracker decision, hq research 042.
