Element Web: Device verification becomes mandatory by default

Starting with Element Web / Desktop 1.12.33, verifying your device is mandatory by default. After signing in on a new browser or desktop session, you will be asked to verify it before you can start chatting. The step can no longer be skipped. Sessions that already exist and are unverified continue working as is for the time being.
