This is the second step of improvements over keypairs/keycards/accounts.
- `SyncKeycardAction` protobuf removed
- `SyncKeypair` protobuf is used for syncing keycards state as well as for all
keycards related changes
- `last_update_clock` column removed from `keypairs` table cause as well as
for accounts, any keycard related change is actually a change made on a related
keypair, thus a keypair's clock keeps the clock of the last change
- `position` column added to `keypairs` table, needed to display keycards in
the same order accross devices

History
Originally this package was a dedicated repo called status-protocol-go and was migrated into status-go. The new status-go/protocol package maintained its own dependencies until sub modules were removed and the root go.mod file managed all dependencies for the entire status-go repo.
