Remove the unused UIFeature.BulkUnverifiedSessionsReminder setting. It defaults to true, and since we already show individual toasts for new unverified devices, I can't think of a reason why we'd want to suppress the toast saying there are existing unverified devices.

This change makes the reminder always appear if there are existing unverified devices, with no facility to turn it off via a setting.

This was added by the PS team in 2022, presumably some customer may be using it, I'd expect this to need a deprecation period but will leave that decision to @element-hq/product

Thanks for flagging this. I'll handle the potential complaints, if any. We'd need to optimize for the crypto to work for majority of the users (by eliminating the complexity caused by edge cases). Additionally, given that unverified devices will stop receiving messages soon - there is no good reason to keep the unverified devices around. Thus, the suggestion is to remove them if you do not want to see the warning about them.

We have Product approval from @mxandreas so this is ready for review.
