rCOMMc40428a2d017: [lib] Don't sync users with non-authoritative keyservers

Summary

We can take a similar approach to what we do with threads that are being hashed - inform the server that there are no inconsistencies. This is a kind of hack, but it will be later improved when we start syncing the store between clients - then the keyserver will no longer attempt the sync.

Test Plan

Check if the state sync still works for one keyserver - modify keyserver DB and check if the state is fixed.
Connect to the second keyserver and check if the state difference doesn't cause an update on client side - modified username on the authoritative keyserver and checked if the name remains changed after state sync with the second keyserver.

This is quite hacky, but I guess it's fine since it's temporary

Is this is a temporary hack, shouldn't we have a Linear task to revert it?

This is a temporary hack, and this code will be completely removed / reworked as a part of https://linear.app/comm/issue/ENG-4730/syncing-keyserverstore-and-userstore-without-keyserver - so we don't need a dedicated task to handle it.
