Implements: #1228

Fallback keys can be provided by client devices to be used in case the supply of one-time keys run out. The server will store one fallback key per user, per device, per algorithm. The server will keep track of whether this fallback has been used or not.

The /keys/claim endpoint now provides a fallback key if no one-time key is found

The /keys/upload endpoint now accepts fallback keys

The /sync endpoint now informs the client of the algorithms for which it has an unused fallback key in stock.

This includes ensuring code compiles. - [x] My commit messages follow the [commit message format][c1cm] and are descriptive. - [ ] I have written a [news fragment][n1] for this PR, if applicable<!--(can be done after hitting open!)-->. <!-- Notes on these requirements: - While not required, we encourage you to sign your commits with GPG or SSH to attest the authenticity of your changes. - While we allow LLM-assisted contributions, we do not appreciate contributions that are low quality, which is typical of machine-generated contributions that have not had a lot of love and care from a human. Please do not open a PR if all you have done is asked ChatGPT to tidy up the codebase with a +-100,000 diff. - In the case of code style violations, reviewers may leave review comments/change requests indicating what the ideal change would look like. For example, a reviewer may suggest you lower a log level, or use `match` instead of `if/else` etc. - In the case of code style violations, pre-commit check failures, minor things like typos/spelling errors, and in some cases commit format violations, reviewers may modify your branch directly, typically by making changes and adding a commit. Particularly in the latter case, a reviewer may rebase your commits to squash "spammy" ones (like "fix", "fix", "actually fix"), and reword commit messages that don't satisfy the format. - Pull requests MUST pass the `Checks` CI workflows to be capable of being merged. This can only be bypassed in exceptional circumstances. If your CI flakes, let us know in matrix:r/dev:continuwuity.org. - Pull requests have to be based on the latest `main` commit before being merged. If the main branch changes while you're making your changes, you should make sure you rebase on main before opening a PR. Your branch will be rebased on main before it is merged if it has fallen behind. - We typically only do fast-forward merges, so your entire commit log will be included. Once in main, it's difficult to get out cleanly, so put on your best dress, smile for the cameras! --> [c1]: https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/src/branch/main/CONTRIBUTING.md [c2]: https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/src/branch/main/docs/development/code_style.mdx [c1pc]: https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/src/branch/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#pre-commit-checks [c1t]: https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/src/branch/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#running-tests-locally [c1cm]: https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/src/branch/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#commit-messages [n1]: https://towncrier.readthedocs.io/en/stable/tutorial.html#creating-news-fragments

Pretty sure there's a nicer way to do this

Than writing the bytes by hand, you mean ? I just followed the way the surrounding code does it, I'm not fond of it either.

See the account data service for a nicer example. No need for raw_put

@Jade changed it to use serde instead of raw bytes (except for the prefix that I maybe have to write by hand (?) )

Works a charm, I think we should be good for merge. I'll wait for someone else to approve the DB code (cc @Jade)
