Description

### Your use case

When unfamiliar usernames are inviting you to unfamiliar or generic rooms (or spaces), it would help if a little more information was available for preview.

At present, the following are shown:
* the display name and mxid of the inviting user
* the **display name** and avatar of the room

What would be useful to have:
* the mxid of the room, ideally also: creation date, creator, topic, number of members, and even a preview view of the room if it is publicly available
* the clickable list of rooms that we have in common with the inviter user (so that we could contact the user to clarify why we were invited)
* ideally some former rooms we had in common with the inviter user, including direct messages
