Description
As in other messaging applications, it would be nice to mark a particular message in a room as unread, returning to the state before it was read. This is helpful for when you need a future reminder to do something, or you didn't have a chance to read everything up to the present, and would like to move the unread marker back.
So when clicking on the 3 dots to open the message menu, ideally there would be an item entitled *Mark unread*.
*Amendment (2021-11-30): I'd be fine with being able to mark the entire room/conversation unread. Signal did this, and it works well enough for me so I believe it could work here as well, even though it would be slightly less than optimal.*
Remaining tasks:
* [x] Allow for marking the room unread on web/desktop
* [x] Allow for marking the room unread on Android X app
* [ ] Allow for marking the room unread on iPhone & related X app
* [x] Create a follow-up issue for marking specific messages unread, which is blocked by https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec/issues/1893
* #2465
