Allow pairing without entering your seed phrase on both devices
As a user I want to be able to pair a new device without entering my seed phrase So that having multiple devices is smoother
Description
A new pairing interface is in the works. We will allow users to pair devices without having to input the seed phrase on both devices.

Both sync from mobile & desktop UI should be implemented, though we can focus on mobile->mobile at first until desktop also implements their part. @Samyoul is working on the backend and can help out with that.

This is going to be fixed with waku-2, we tested in bad network conditions and large messages are sent as expected, closing for now.
With the merging of https://github.com/status-im/status-go/pull/2506 there should be at least the MVP in status-go/develop to perform key/account transfer between 2 devices. This does not do anything about automatically setting up mutual sync / pairing setup which is another step. 🥲 .
And so it continues.
