refactor(common): delete the sender-key implementation nothing uses
`senderkeys.py` and its 13 tests implemented Signal-style sender keys, and production has never called them: chat is a key per group, per epoch, per device, derived by name. The reasoning that ruled the ratchet out stays where it belongs — in `chatbox.py`, at the top of the module that replaced it — because the argument is the useful part, and it now stands on its own instead of pointing at a file to compare against. Kept code that nothing calls is worse than absent code: it reads as an alternative somebody may reach for, and it has to be maintained past every refactor to stay compiling, which is maintenance spent on a decision already made. The three comments naming `GroupSenderKeyStore` are rewritten to say the thing they were illustrating.
