Description

### Your use case

#### What would you like to do?
Add a second line in the room header, below the room name, to display metadata of the room. This metadata could be the following:
1. room access, type or encryption
2. room members count
3. room history duration

#### Why would you like to do it?
This could be really useful for the users, especially to give them more insights about the room they're in and what kind of information they can share.
This feature was developed by DINUM for the previous version of Tchap, but has been discontinued in the new version to optimize maintenance. If the feature is included in Element natively, it would make things easier.
@giomfo could provide more info about that.

#### How would you like to achieve it?
Here are 2 mockups of what it would look like in Element iOS.
Note: I also suggest to make a slightly bigger header (+5pt)
