Don't app-silo outgoing viewing keys anymore

Check with @benesjan whether this can be actually done.

It is still done. In all the constrained callsites we get the ovsk_app via this function on private context. Unconstrained callsites use this getter.

I think my comment was referencing the fact that someone (@sklppy88?) mentioned they thought you had found an issue with the removal of this siloing, and that you had said we could not get rid of it.

I think we should talk more about this yes, I don't fully remember what was said but I do remember there was discussions on this and a difference between removing the app-siloing of the ivsk and ovsk. I think that before the ivsk_app was non-hardened, whereas the ovsk-app currently is hardened, maybe it had something to do with that ? I'll try to remember more what exactly it had to deal with.

Outgoing keys have been removed from aztecnr. They still exist in the preimage of an address, but aren't currently used. Therefore, closing this issue.
