feat(v4): centre.4th and hera.4th; every node's kernel serves it (MESH.md 9a.3)

What a birthing node needs is centre.4th; KILL, PAUSE, RESUME, UNIT-KILL and
CENTRE are Hera's.  An outer node births, as a v3 VM may, and may not kill.
A capsule is read by the node that opened it.  test_host_unit: 93 checks.
