Description

### Your use case

See https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/18969

Currently kicking or banning a user from a space / room has no impact on child rooms. Meaning that a user Banned from a space will still be to participate in any space rooms he joined.

#### What would you like to do?

The `moderation` aspect of space as not yet been spec'ed, and is out of scope for the initial release.
Nevertheless, we should at least display a message to a user trying to ban from a space to explain that this functionnality is still beta.

#### Why would you like to do it?

It is probable that a lot of space admin would expect that banning from a space would cascade to child rooms.
But it's a quite complexe problem, as space are so versatile.

#### How would you like to achieve it?

Minimum: Add a 'warning' when you try to ban/kick from space, e.g
> Kick/Ban is still in space is still experimental, you might want to manually ban from the contained rooms if needed.

Better: Add Warning + A dialog where you can cherry pick a list of child room that the user must be banned/kick from (if you have enough power level)
