We now want to transfer the cross-signing master key over SSSS sharing too, such that we can operate without SSSS storage at all.

  • Request the master key along with other cross-signing private key parts
  • Allow the master key to be shared

We now want to store all private keys in the local cache, including the master
key if available.

This change adds a request for the master cross-signing private key, in case the
other device is willing to share it.

This ensures we try to get all private keys when e.g. logging in and using the
passphrase to unlock 4S.

We've realised it's beneficial to support sharing the master cross-singing key
so that new devices can fully manage cross-signing on your account.
