rCOMM382293dcee61: Implement method to deserialize olm account from a file

Summary

This differential implements a method in NotificationsCryptoModule that can deserialize flat file containing JSON-fied pickled olm account into in-memory CryptoModule onject that is capable to perform end2end encrypted messaging sessions.

Test Plan

Temporarily make this method public. Partially modify this method so that it does not read from a file but takes JSONI-ified pickled olm account directly and use it to create CryptoModule instance in CommCoreModule where we read pickled public olm account from the database. Use XCode debugger or logging to examine object
content. JSON-ified pickled olm account can be created in CommCoreModule.

26 ↗	(On Diff #22879)	I think `ifstream::in` is the default, but can be left for clarity.
46 ↗	(On Diff #22879)	What if JSON is malformed and `account` doesn't exist?

native/cpp/CommonCpp/Notifications/BackgroundDataStorage/NotificationsCryptoModule.cpp
46 ↗	(On Diff #22879)	The counterpart method to this one - `serializeAndFlushCryptoModule` - introduced in child differential ensures that either entire JSON (containing "account" key) is written or the method fails. Both this and `serializeAndFlushCryptoModule` are private and will be called in public methods only with olm notifications account path. That said if `serializeAndFlushCryptoModule` fails on the very first write (first after last deletion of this file) to olm notifications account path, we will fail on the fist `if` in `deserializeCryptoModule` (the file does not exist). If it failed on n-th write, we will read correct content after last successful write to this file. So I think we can add this if statement and throw, but my understanding is that it is not necessary.

native/cpp/CommonCpp/Notifications/BackgroundDataStorage/NotificationsCryptoModule.cpp
46 ↗	(On Diff #22879)	Yes, I understand that, my concern was the same as in D6777. But you are right, if this file is only written by `serializeAndFlushCryptoModule` - this statement is unnecessary.
