Explanation

Adding support for Snap keyring v2 for this controller. For now, those keyrings are not in use, but we will need this to be able to the accounts associated with those new keyrings.

Note

Medium Risk
Adds a new Snap keyring v2 account ingestion path and alters keyring state synchronization logic, which could impact account discovery/selection if v2 keyrings are misidentified or return unexpected data.

Overview
Adds Snap Keyring v2 support in AccountsController by recognizing KeyringType.Snap keyrings and resolving accounts via SnapKeyringV2.lookupByAddress, injecting minimal internal-account metadata (keyring + snap id) for backward compatibility.

Refactors KeyringController:stateChange synchronization to use a single add/update/remove patch flow across keyring types, and updates helpers (keyringTypeToName, isNormalKeyringType, new isSnapKeyringV2Type) plus tests to cover v2 accounts and edge cases (missing keyring instance, account deleted before lookup). Changelog notes the addition and package scripts update messenger CLI formatting options.

Just removed all this since we don't need that separation at all!

The new Snap keyring v2 only use KeyringAccount, thus we don't have any metadata for those!

We could query this from the SnapController, but that requires a new allowed action, thus a breaking change (but at least that would mimic what the current big SnapKeyring is doing)

Snap v2 accounts permanently stuck with empty name

Medium Severity

#getAccountFromSnapKeyringV2 hardcodes metadata.name to ''. When the stateChange handler creates a v2 account, this empty name gets persisted. Later, updateAccounts attempts to assign a default name using existingAccount?.metadata.name ?? 'Snap Account X', but the nullish coalescing operator (??) does not treat empty strings as nullish, so '' ?? 'Snap Account 1' evaluates to ''. The account name can never be corrected to a proper default.
