Changing password prevents previous owners from accessing new copy #1521

Description

Changing the password of a document should just require users who previously accessed it to use the new password. Instead, some can never access it again because it permanently appears "destroyed" for them.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a new spreadsheet owned by you
  2. Add another user as an owner (e.g. a contact)
  3. Second user accepts ownership
  4. Second user adds file to their cryptdrive
  5. Document creator changes password
  6. Second user attempts to access document via its share link, via their drive, or via a notification that it has been shared to them from a contact
  7. Second user receives the error "This document was destroyed by an owner"
  8. Document creator re-sends new share link, re-shares to contact, or re-adds second user as an owner: no change
  9. Guest users can view the share link with the new password. Only the second owner who previously added it to their drive sees it as "destroyed".

NOTE it is resolved by:
10. Second owner moves it to their trash, and empties trash, and then accesses the link with new password
