This is the same functionality that /myroomnick does, but it's now
exposed in a much more accessible place in the UI. A new page to the
room settings is added to configure your profile in the room. It's
currently limited to a display name.
Right now NeoChat (or more technically, libQuotient) decides to use
encryption by default in new chats. Some users may not prefer or need
this, so a new option is added under Security to change this behavior.

This is only really needed in specific cases, e.g. localUser which isn't
attached to a connection and thus needs a little help. Notes for when
this is needed is added for future readers.
The problem lies in how media URLs work, in this case it the old
NeoChatRoom::avatarMediaId could pass a mxc url *or* a path that can
be put into root.connection.makeMediaUrl. So normal rooms with avatars
loaded, but never friends because room members gave the mxc URL.
Instead, change everything to use avatarMediaUrl which corrects this
issue by always passing a mxc URL to QML. This also removes the need to
call makeMediaUrl.
Fixes#675
According to the HIG, we should be using symbolic versions of these
icons at this size. Not that we have symbolic versions for these icons
yet, but it's still safe to do as they'll fall back to the old ones.
This standardizes on the same value used for KirigamiAddons pages like AboutKDE and About, namely largeSpacing * 4.
Now, when switching between settings pages you no longer have settings inconsistently changing heights willy nilly, header notwithstanding.
The only page that's missing is the Spellchecking page, as that needs to be fixed in Kirigami Addons' private Sonnet page.
Recently, it also sorts rooms based on unread notification count and
importance. This adds a clarification to the setting so users (like me)
aren't confused why it isn't sorting only by activity.
Currently both Enter and Ctrl+Enter send the message in ChatBar on
desktop. This might be unexpected behavior to users coming from other
chat applications (eg. WhatsApp, Telegram, Element) as those send
with Enter only by default. They allow changing send to Ctrl+Enter
in settings and other option is used to insert a newline.

This improves the organization of this page, which is starting to become
a bit of a mess. The "Hide images and video events" option is moved
here, and the page is rebranded accordingly for "Security & Safety".
Unnecessary headings are removed, and the ignored users button is moved
to the top of the page.
Explanations for the import/keys buttons are added. The key display
is removed as it's not useful for the user (because they don't know what
to do with it) nor developers (because you can't copy it.) We can add
it back somewhere else.
This has the added benefit of making the whole page fit in the default
settings window size too.
This hides the "Notifications", "Security", "Accounts" and "Devices"
page from the settings if we have no connection. This can now happen
since the user is able to enter the full settings without being logged
in from the welcome page.
This makes it look cleaner when there's nothing there, and looks
standard beside other KDE applications. Also removes a duplicate
"Ignored Users" form header that didn't add anything.
Matrix currently has a significant moderation loophole, thanks to
invites. Right now, anyone can invite anyone to a room - and clients
like NeoChat will gladly display these rooms to them and even give you
a notification.
However, this creates a pretty easy attack since room names and avatars
are arbitrary and this is a known vector of harassment in the Matrix
community. There's currently no tools to block this server-side, so
let's try to improve the situation where we can.
This adds a new setting to the Security page, wherein it allows you to
block invites from people you don't share a room with. This prevents the
notification from appearing and NeoChat will attempt to leave the room
immediately.
Since this depends on MSC 2666 - a currently unstable feature - the
server may not support it and NeoChat will disable the setting in this
case.

Update the user model so it also sorts by power level and update how we initialize the model to improve performance.
The following is also changed:
- Store a single `UserListModel` in `RoomManager` and use it for everything, this means we don't create extra models (incluiding the long initialisation for each in big rooms)
- By using the single model once it has loaded the users of the new room opening and closing the draw now happens instantly (previously the model would have to be loaded every time the drawer was opened).
- To stop the initial loading and room change of Neochat slowing down (as the `UserListModel` would be loaded before the `TimelineView` is shown) the initialisation of the model is delayed until the `TimelineView` has loaded. This prioritises showing some messages in the timeline over populating the model so in large rooms the user list will initially be blank, but this keeps the initial load snappier.
Fix the InlineMessages for the room upgrades in RoomSettings, they should show even if we aren't currently in the room. Resolve resource can join the predecessor/sucessor if required.
