[Suggested Improvement] Offer private update when imported an updated version of existing key #5947

Description

Some users tried to load the updated version of their keys via "Add Key" of FlowCrypt Settings -> Additional Settings.

While it is technically working correctly and the FlowCrypt extensions rejects it and tells the user that it already exists. It doesn't mean that the two version where identical and doesn't have any further information whether which one is newer and vise versa.

IMHO, we can improve it by detecting which one is more recently updated. And in case where the one they tried to import was a newer one, we can them inform them to update their record via Public Key -> In Private key section, they will click update and update their keys.

Or even better is to just redirect them to update private key frame by telling some like This key is a newer version of xzy, please click here if you want to update your keys.
