Store private keys in a secure enclave where available #11633

On devices with a secure enclave, we should use this to store the SSSS (secure secret storage and sharing) default key to avoid prompting the user for every interaction requiring key access.

Dup of #10495?

They are related, but I believe https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/10495 is more about evaluating libraries and approaches, while this will implement the outcome of that.
