Part of https://github.com/element-hq/crypto-internal/issues/362.

Add a labs option which will, when set, switch into the "invisible crypto" mode of refusing to send keys to, or decrypt messages from, devices that have not been signed by their owner.

Builds on top of the "Device Isolation Mode" functionality added to the js-sdk in matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk#4429.

The wording has been discussed at element-hq/element-meta#2536 (comment).

It looks like this:

When configured via config.json, the setting is greyed out, like this:

mode of refusing to send keys to, or decrypt messages from, devices that have
not been signed by their owner.

#92 changed the default mode
for encryption to throw an error when sending a message and the room contains either:
 - a verified user with an unverified device
 - a verifeid user who has changed their identity.

We're not really ready for this (we lack the UI to deal with it), so roll that
back.
