feat: reduce unncessary gossipping of keys in group chats

- treat an Autocrypt header as a kind of Autocrypt-Gossip: addr=<self>
  letting it participate in the existing cooperative key gossipping mechanics.

- speed up processing of incoming autocrypt-gossip headers by using
  1 sql commit for N gossip headers instead of the current N commits.
