[Story] Banner for unverified user identity change

[manuroe]

Description

• As a user
• I want to be informed when an unverified user has changed their identity keys
• So that I can make a conscious decision before posting a message in a room

We are to implement the temporary flow version from figma. The Final version will happen with invisible crypto.

Acceptance criteria

• The banner is displayed close to the composer and does not affect the timeline interactions (srolling, URL navigation)
• It is displayed when the user opens the room
• It stays until the user tapped ok
• It pops up in realtime once SDK/Crypto detects the change
• It is displayed once per identity change. SDK/Crypto stores the user acknownledgment
• A single identity change is shown at a time as a "FIFO". If the user acknowledges one and it there are more, the app must display the banner for the next unverified user identity change
• Tech one: the banner component should be reusable. We are going to use it with invisible crypto on such screen

API

The API is being implemented in #2526 - see branch https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-rust-sdk/tree/andybalaam/room-identity-stream until it is merged.

Summary:

Call this method in matrix_sdk_ffi::room::Room:

    pub fn subscribe_to_identity_status_changes(
        &self,
        listener: Box<dyn IdentityStatusChangeListener>,
    ) -> Arc<TaskHandle>

Passing in one of these:

pub trait IdentityStatusChangeListener: Sync + Send {
    fn call(&self, identity_status_change: Vec<IdentityStatusChange>);
}

I think this is a duplicate of #2492 ?

I think this is a duplicate of #2492 ?

No, 2492 is about verified and this is about unverified identities.

No, 2492 is about verified and this is about unverified identities.

Argh, yes, sorry.
