lock icon on messages may be misleading

[uhoreg]

users may interpret the lock icon on a message as indicating secrecy (i.e. it was only sent to verified devices), whereas it actually indicates authenticity (it was sent from a verified device.

A tick mark on the avatar might be clearer in meaning. A separate secrecy indicator (I think the lock icon is nice for this) would be nice to have, but I'm not sure secrecy is actually possible to determine? I don't really know much about the model for matrix.

This certainly warrants further thought, but as a first, easy step we could just whack a tooltip on the padlocks to explain what they're trying to represent.

I think maybe changing the lock icon to a checkmark icon may be sufficient.

We don't have a lock icon anymore
