[DO NOT MERGE] Decentralised MLS proof-of-concept

[uhoreg]

This is juts a proof-of-concept and should not be merged. This is highly experimental, and may cause crashes, loss of data, fire and brimstone falling from the skies, cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria...

Adds Decentralised MLS encryption method.

Only for experimental use.

• Do not use on public servers
• No MLS data is persisted -- if you reload the page, you will lose your data
• Not all features are implemented. e.g. no key sharing, cross-signing, etc.
• Compatibility with future versions is not guaranteed
• Megolm may be broken
• This comes with no warranty -- may break unexpectedly

That is sad. I wish matrix could drop olm for MLS and use that good RFC in replace in future (more standatization helps - also bridged to get E2EE across Messenger, someday)
