Description
Currently there is no possibility for a user to send a message starting with `/`, except if the message starts with `//`.
We should:
- [ ] Support escaping of `/`, using `\/` (so not be strictly equivalent to Element Web on this point, but let's assume that difference, I do not like escaping using `//`). In this case, the first `\` should be removed before sending the Event.
- [ ] Propose to send the message if the command is not supported (as per Element Web)
FTR on Element Web, we have:
- Supporting `/help` is out of scope for this issue
