Description

We should consider a new version of encrypted attachments, to replace the [current v2 spec](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.13/client-server-api/#sending-encrypted-attachments).

For now, I've started a list of things to fix at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iEyMyKZNOGC1D8EWQauBC3WSliDNvL5OKFQkII4ZWps/.

Research direction

Start by reading the current v2 encrypted attachments specification linked in the issue and the linked Google Doc list of proposed fixes. The issue does not define a concrete scope or acceptance criteria, so the work would first require agreeing on the V3 design and what constitutes a complete replacement.
