``encryption:drop-legacy-filekey`` scans the files for the legacy filekey

format using RC4 and get rid of it (if master key is enabled). The operation can

be quite slow as it needs to rewrite each encrypted file. If you do not do it files

will be migrated to drop their legacy filekey on the first modification. If you have

old files from Nextcloud<25 still using base64 encoding this will migrate them to the

binary format and save about 33% disk space.
