Clients should ignore verification requests that have been accepted or
cancelled, or if they do not belong to the sending or target users.
The way that clients display this event can depend on which user and device the
client belongs to, and what state the verification is in. For example:
- If the verification has been completed (there is an `m.key.verification.done`
or `m.key.verification.cancel` event), the client can indicate that the
verification was successful or had an error.
- If the verification has been accepted (there is an `m.key.verification.start`
event) but has not been completed, the two devices involved can indicate that
the verification is in progress and can use this event as a place in the
room's timeline to display progress of the key verification and to interact
with the user as necessary. Other devices can indicate that the verification
is in progress on other devices.
- If the verification has not been accepted, clients for the target user can
indicate that a verification has been requested and allow the user to accept
the verification on that device. The sending client can indicate that it is
waiting for the request to be accepted, and the sending user's other clients
can indicate the that a request was initiated on a different device.
