(Branching from #253 - we should merge that one first)

This makes the Connect app behave a lot more like a browser wallet like Privy or Metamask.
We'll need to think very carefully about how to secure these credentials client-side (e.g. CSP), but we already have that problem for the all the identity keys in the application.
We should make sure users are aware that the Connect app is given full admin access to the Geo smart account, the keys live in the browser window and are only stored on the sync server encrypted.

Maybe it would be better to not store the keys in localStorage? then the user would always have to sign to decrypt in every Connect flow, but after that they don't need to sign any other transactions or messages.

For now I've changed it so that keys are stored in sessionStorage - we still need to work on ensuring it's secure, but it's a bit better as they will be wiped when a tab is closed. The UX is also not too bad as the consequence of wiping the keys is a single wallet signature to decrypt them.
