Upgrade from legacy Riot to RiotX without a recovery key or passphrase #1600

The user does not have a passphrase or recovery key as these were not required for E2EE in legacy Riot-android. On upgrading to RiotX, the app asks for verification with a passphrase or a recovery key. The user does not have this information.

The trusted contacts on legacy Riot are no longer trusted on RiotX. This should not be the case, the trusted users on legacy Riot should automatically be trusted after RiotX upgrade.

If it's asking for a passphrase or key it's because one has been set at some point.
