Description

Right now, if you verify a device, you automatically honour its keyshare requests. Just because you've verified it doesn't mean you necessarily want to do keysharing though.

Research direction

Start with issue #2145 and locate the Element client entry points for device verification and keyshare requests. Before coding, clarify the intended opt-out semantics and affected clients; done should allow a verified device to decline keysharing without changing verification itself, with behavior covered by the relevant existing tests.
