If we have account data in local storage but nothing in the crypto store, it
generally means the browser has evicted IndexedDB out from under us. This adds a
modal to explain the situation and offer to completely clear storage to get
things back to normal.

Hopefully makes the syntax a bit nicer. Also uses ES6 async import
rather than require.ensure which is now deprecated. Also also
displays an error if the component fails to load rather than falling
over in a heap, which is nice.
It turns out that the assertion made in
https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk/pull/1213 about `async`
functions returning bluebird promises was only correct when babel used an
inline version of the `asyncToGenerator` helper; in react-sdk we are using
`babel-transform-runtime` which means that we use a separate
`babel-runtime/helpers/asyncToGenerator`, which returns a native (or core-js)
Promise.
This meant that we were still in the situation where some methods returned
native Promises, and some bluebird ones, which is exactly the situation I
wanted to resolve by switching to bluebird in the first place: in short,
unless/until we get rid of all code which assumes Promises have a `done` method
etc, we need to make sure that everything returns a bluebird promise.
(Aside: there was debate over whether in the long term we should be trying to
wean ourselves off bluebird promises by assuming all promises are native. The
conclusion was that the complexity hit involved in doing so outweighed any
benefit of a potential future migration away from bluebird).
