Description

### Steps to reproduce

1. Create a message with a duplicate message index

### What happened?

Element shows you the option to request keys for that message:

### What did you expect?

It should just tell me about the error. It already has the decryption key, requesting it again is confusing and makes no sense.

### Operating system

Linux

### Browser information

Firefox 90

### URL for webapp

riot.neko.dev, 1.34
