Move secure send into Tech Tools, where somebody would look for it

9845867 gave it its own plugin because Tech Tools is browser-only and this needs
storage. That was the right reading of the code and the wrong answer for the
person using it: Tech Tools is where you go for a utility, and a tool nobody can
find is a tool nobody uses.

So Tech Tools now has a blueprint, a table and a migration chain where it had
none. Its docstring and manifest say why, because "every tool here runs in the
browser" was load-bearing documentation and is no longer true.

WHAT MOVED
  /api/securesend       -> /api/tools/secrets
  securesend.create     -> tools.secrets
  securesend0001baseline -> tools0001securesend
  PLUGIN_TABLE_OWNERS, EXPECTED_HEAD_REVISION, EXEMPT_ENDPOINTS, the universal
  profile and the api-inventory surface all follow it.

THE OLD "NO BACKEND" TEST IS NARROWED, NOT DELETED. It asserted
get_blueprint() is None, which is the sort of guard that gets removed when it
becomes inconvenient. It now asserts the blueprint serves EXACTLY the three
secret routes, with their methods - so a future tool that quietly grows an
endpoint or a table has to edit this test, and therefore make the decision on
purpose rather than by drift.

Asserting methods rather than paths also pins the detail this design turns on:
redeeming is POST-ONLY. Chat and mail clients prefetch GET urls to build
previews, and a preview that could redeem would consume a one-view secret before
its recipient opened the link. Previously that was a comment; now it fails a
test.

UNINSTALLING THE OLD PLUGIN COULD NOT BE DONE WITH THE PLUGIN TOOLING. `flask
plugin uninstall securesend` loads a plugin before uninstalling it, so a plugin
whose directory has been deleted cannot be removed by the command that manages
plugins - the registry entry had to be edited by hand. Worth fixing separately;
it is the same registry-versus-code divergence the device work hit from the
other side.

MIGRATING A CHAIN THAT HAS ALREADY RUN needs the old table and its version row
dropped first, because the relocated chain has no stamp and tries to create a
table that exists. Only relevant to anyone who installed securesend during the
hour it existed - it did reach the publication repo in 4242028 - and the fix is
DROP TABLE securesendsecrets plus DROP TABLE alembic_version_securesend before
running plugin upgrade-all.

1829 tests green. Still backend only: there are no pages yet, so nothing here is
reachable by a person.
