Deliver database credentials as a rotatable mounted directory
AUDIT-WP-0005-T02 (progress). rapp-postgres has landed platform-pg with the
audit_core database, roles, and dynamic credential provisioning, so
audit-core's side is now built against it.

In-cluster delivery is a mounted directory rather than environment variables.
A dynamic lease rotates while the pod runs and an env var is fixed at process
start, so env delivery would force a restart on every rotation - and every
restart is a delivery gap, which is what this task forbids.
CredentialDirectory is re-read on every connection attempt via psycopg_pool's
callable kwargs, so a rotated lease takes effect with no restart. Rotation is
logged by password fingerprint, never by value.

deploy/externalsecrets.yaml follows the ClusterSecretStore -> ExternalSecret ->
Secret pattern already used by activity-core and rapp-qonto, at a 15m refresh
rather than the default 1h since the interval bounds how long a revoked lease
can stay mounted. All manifests validated --dry-run=server --validate=strict.

The rotation test was initially vacuous: it passed against a deliberately naive
implementation that read credentials once at startup, because pooled sessions
stay authenticated after a password change and nothing forced a reconnect. It
now terminates the role's sessions first, and is verified to fail against the
naive implementation and pass against the real one. Tests 82 -> 84.

"""Database credentials read from a mounted directory (AUDIT-WP-0005-T02).
The credential broker issues *dynamic* PostgreSQL leases, so the password the
pod should use changes while the pod is running. Environment variables cannot
express that: they are fixed at process start, so every rotation would need a
restart and every restart is a delivery gap.
A mounted Secret can. Kubernetes updates the files in place when the
ExternalSecret refreshes, so reading them at connection time — rather than at
startup — makes rotation invisible to senders.
Expected layout, one value per file, matching what an ExternalSecret template
produces::
/etc/audit-core/db/username
/etc/audit-core/db/password
/etc/audit-core/db/host
/etc/audit-core/db/port
/etc/audit-core/db/dbname
A single ``dsn`` file is also accepted for stores that vend one string.
