Let an account be a bot

Let an account be a bot An automation needs an identity: something to assign an issue to, mention in a comment, and name in an approval and the audit log. An account already gives all of that, so this adds only the invariants a bot needs and the word for it. A bot is created with `vole admin account create --bot`, with the repository role the admin decides it should have. It has no browser sign-in — `account invite` and adding a passkey are refused — and it cannot hold the instance-admin role, because Admin reaches every repository and every instance surface while a bot is a repository automation. It is marked as a bot in the user directory and on its profile. Everything else is deliberately unchanged. A bot obeys the rules of its role: a contribute bot pushes only its own contributor branch and its CI waits for a maintainer to allow the tip; a maintain bot pushes shared branches, runs CI immediately, and its approval counts. The kind is fixed at creation, like the name, and a roster that predates it reads every account as a person. This is the first of three slices of #165. The per-run credential that lets a workflow act as a bot without a long-lived key in a repository secret is next; this slice changes no push rule and no permission.
