Description

### Your use case

#### What would you like to do?

Archive rooms like in WhatsApps

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

I can't have a clean space with my conversations because I always have some conversation that I need to archive.
I would reuse them later but right now they are just taking rooms for nothing.

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

- auto-unarchive when receiving a message in the room
- new section with the archived rooms

### Have you considered any alternatives?

_No response_

### Additional context

Research direction

Begin with the use case and requested behavior in issue #1402. Determine which Element client owns room-list state and navigation, then define the scope for archived-room display and automatic unarchiving when messages arrive. No files, tests, or entry points are named, so implementation locations and validation steps still need to be identified.
