#### Enconding the recovery key for server-side storage via MSC1946
If MSC1946 is used to store the key on the server, it must be stored using the
`account_data` type `m.megolm_backup.v1`.
As a special case, if the recovery key is the same as the curve25519 key used
for storing the key, then the contents of the `m.megolm_backup.v1`
