This PR adds support for incoming verification requests when the verification step for a Matrix room participant is initiated by another member of the room. This now enables instances of Lotti to verify each other, which is required for synchronization to take place, as no outgoing sync message will emitted when there's any unverified member in the room. This prevents the scenario where an eavesdropper could enter a room and listen in. As long as we trust the server, this would not necessarily become an issue if a room indeed remains private, but I don't want to have to trust any server with my private data unless end-to-end encrypted and with no way to intercept messages.
