Suppose we find a message which was sent after we registered, but before we logged in. We attempt to download the keys for such messages from the server-side store.

If the key is not found, there is obviously little we can do. However, if we find a key but then cannot decrypt it, or deserialize it, we should probably tell the user that there was an error -- or at least, stop showing "waiting for this message".

This particularly affects users who had old versions of Fluffychat, due to famedly/matrix-dart-sdk#1739 -- but there may be other circumstances in which the key is in some way corrupt.
