swarm-secret-client: give the store one namespace instead of one prefix

The crate had a single path convention and it was per-agent:
`swarm/agents/<agent>/matrix/<account>`. The secrets still to move into the
store do not fit it — one belongs to a hive, one to a swarm service, one to
the controller itself — so each would have picked its own shape, and each
would have been a separate grant to get wrong.

mara ruled the scheme on the epic: `swarm/<kind>/<name>/<secret>`, over
`agents`, `hives`, `services` and `controller`. This lands it.

`Kind` is an enum rather than free strings for one reason: the store's grant
is written in nix and cannot be reached from Rust, so a misspelled kind is a
403 at provision time and not a compile error. `Kind::ALL` lets a test
enumerate the set instead of restating it, which is what makes adding a kind
a deliberate edit rather than an accidental grant.

Note `Kind` sits beside `checked_segment`'s existing `kind` argument, which
means something else entirely — the label of the name being validated. They
are not the same concept and should not be merged.

Nothing about the rendered policy changes. `policy::render` still grants read
on the agent kind alone; the other kinds are absent on purpose, because what a
hive may read of its own kind is a boundary question and not a consequence of
the namespace growing. The controller's write grant likewise stays scoped to
`agents/` — it widens when a path outside it gains a writer, not when the
kinds are declared.

Verified: `cargo test -p swarm-secret-client` 23 passed, 0 failed. The two
tests pinning the rendered strings (`the_document_grants_read_over_the_whole_agent_prefix`
and matrix's path assertion) still assert the same literals they did before,
which is what shows this is a faithful port rather than a reshape. `nix fmt`
710 emitted, 10 formatted, 0 changed; the three scripts/check-*.sh lints pass
with the change staged. No reference to the removed `path::AGENT_PREFIX`
survives in the crate or in nix — checked with a scoped pattern, because the
unqualified name also belongs to hive-host-sock's container prefix and greps
for it are answering a different question.
