Because the js-sdk methods are changing and there's no reason for these not to use the secure versions. The dedicated upper/lower functions were only used in this one case, so this should do the exact same thing with the one exported function.

Others were just using randomString, none look speed-sensitive so I don't think we really need to maintain an insecure set of functions too.

Requires matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk#4621 (merge both together)

Checklist

  • Tests written for new code (and old code if feasible).
  • New or updated public/exported symbols have accurate TSDoc documentation.
  • Linter and other CI checks pass.
  • I have licensed the changes to Element by completing the Contributor License Agreement (CLA)
