Reset key storage if restoring from Recovery encounters the wrong decryption key (#32668)

* Set up the MatrixClient before each RecoveryPanelOutOfSync test

Without this, we can't override MatrixClient methods until we've called
`renderComponent`, which is awkward.

* Actually test that we load the decryption key in RecoveryPanelOutOfSync

It turns out the existing test didn't actually go down the expected code
path and call loadSessionBackupPrivateKeyFromSecretStorage.

* Reset key storage if restoring from Recovery encounters the wrong decryption key

Fixes https://github.com/element-hq/element-web/issues/31793

Depends on https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk/pull/5202

When we try to load the key storage decryption key from Recovery, but we
find that it does not match the public key of the current key storage
backup, create a new key storage backup.
