Not receiving messages between atsigns using at_onboarding_cli+at_auth

[purnimavenkatasubbu]

Describe the bug

Sent messages are not being displayed on the receiver's end

Steps to reproduce

1. Clone the trunk branch of at_talk (change the dart version)

2. Then Add the following dependency overrides
   dependency_overrides:
   at_commons: ^3.0.56
   at_lookup: ^3.0.40
   at_client:
   git:
   url: https://github.com/atsign-foundation/at_client_sdk
   ref: trunk
   path: packages/at_client
   at_onboarding_cli:
   git:
   url: https://github.com/atsign-foundation/at_libraries.git
   path: packages/at_onboarding_cli
   ref: apkam_onboarding_changes

3. And then generate a new atsigns with register_cli(apkam_onbording_changes) branch

4. Run the following commands for the 2 atsigns

 dart bin/at_talk.dart -k /home/shaikirfan/.atsign/keys/@yeastydotterel85_key.atKeys -a @yeastydotterel85 -t @charlie24

dart bin/at_talk.dart -k /home/shaikirfan/.atsign/keys/@charlie24_key.atKeys -a @charlie24 -t @yeastydotterel85

@gkc at_auth package requires at_chops for pkam signing.
monitor.dart has reading private key from preference as a fallback option.We no longer set privatekey in preference and if useAtChops=false, monitor is failing.

Fix for this issue has to be in at_talk.dart..is this fine?

[gkc]

@murali-shris Shouldn't we instead make useAtChops true by default in at_client? useAtChops was only ever intended as a temporary thing so we could gracefully and safely migrate from the pre-atChops approach

yes Gary. We can. We should test there are no legacy code in packages that sets private key in preferences and not setting atChops.

@murali-shris OK please create a P1 ticket for this work asap
