Description

### Your use case

#### What would you like to do?

View room owners (in v12 rooms) in Room Settings — Roles & Permissions.

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

To get complete information on which users have which privileges in a room.

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

By having room owners displayed in Room Settings — Roles & Permissions.

### Have you considered any alternatives?

_No response_

### Additional context

Room owners are currently marked as such in the "People" sidebar, but not in the room settings. (This can result in e.g. "No users have specific privileges in this room" when no users are privileged through `m.room.power_levels`, despite the existence of permanently-privileged creators.) This seems like an oversight. (Adding this would probably require some degree of design considerations to make it reasonably user-intuitive, but I think it's better than the lack of such information.)
