Description
This change adds
m.forumroom type support.Creating room of this type changes the rendering of the main room view, to resemble internet forum post topic, where threaded replies are folded into topic replies.
The room type was chosen (instead room metadata) in order to distinguish the room in the rooms list. Similarly to Voice Rooms.
This feature builds heavily on Lobby and Thread features, combining them to create Forum-like experience. It reuses code where appropriate.
You can use https://matrix.to/#/!790a18Ov9zgAzyaikc:chrome.pl room to test the feature
