Add a signature from the cross-signing master key to the key
backup when upgrading the key backup into cross-signing.

For element-hq/element-web#11747

If we trust the key backup at upgrade time then we can sign it so
key backup will work automatically when cross-signing is trusted.
If we don't sign it at this point we'll end up with cross-signing
and key backup set up but key backup untrusted by the cross-signing
key which is a bit of a broken situation.

With matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk#1144 fixes
