Richard van der Hoff 4d2c261ff8 crypto: rewrite check_sender_trust_requirement to use VerificationState (#5044)
There are two reasons for this.

Firstly. we've already done a bunch of work to map `SenderData` into a
`VerificationState`, and the decision tree from `VerificationState` to
allow/reject is simpler than going from `SenderData`, even if we have to
fudge it a bit to get the "legacy" flag. (Note that it allows us to get
rid of an `unreachable!` panic.)

Secondly, `VerficationState` represents the state of an *event*, whereas
`SenderData` is about the session as a whole. A session can be fine,
whilst events (claiming to be) encrypted with it can be suspect. What we
want here is to check a specific message. Currently, this doesn't make
any functional difference, but conceptually it's cleaner to check the
`VerificationState`.

Note that there are a bunch of tests for this method in
`matrix-sdk-crypto/src/machine/tests/decryption_verification_state.rs`,
called `test_decryption_trust_requirement`.
