'Unable to decrypt message' now carries one sentence per matrix-js-sdk
DecryptionFailureCode (describeDecryptionFailure, unit-tested against every
code so no raw code can leak into the copy) and, where something fixes it,
one button: no key backup → 'Set up key backup'; backup exists but this
session can't open it / key withheld for an unverified session → 'Unlock key
backup' / 'Verify this session' (both open Settings → Devices via a new
settingsRequestAtom that SettingsTab consumes); backup working or unknown
session (rust-crypto re-requests keys itself) → 'Retry', which re-runs
decryptEventIfNeeded. Sender-side problems are plain text. The raw code sits
in the placeholder's tooltip for support.

Verified headless on a fresh session in the encrypted seed room: each event
shows 'Sent before you signed in here, and no key backup exists…' with
tooltip HISTORICAL_MESSAGE_NO_KEY_BACKUP; the button opens Settings → Devices.
