If we can't start an Olm session with a device (eg, because we couldn't claim a one-time key), then we write an error to the console and carry on regardless. We should probably offer the user some options (carry on, try again, etc.)

While this is talking about showing an error on the sending side, we instead implemented showing more helpful errors on the receiving side via m.room_key.withheld messages.

This might have been what we wanted all along, if not, please reopen.
