Description
### Steps to reproduce
1. Create a new (v12) room.
2. Open the profile sidebar.
3. Open your profile in the sidebar.
### Outcome
#### What did you expect?
Per [spec](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.16/rooms/v12/#event-format), room creators "have infinitely high power level and cannot be specified in the `m.room.power_levels` event".
Thus, there should not be an option to set a power level for a creator. (It may be desirable to add a text note designating the account as a creator, in place of the text box?)
#### What happened instead?
There is a "power level" text box, to set a power level for that user.
Trying to actually set a power level using this text box produces "Error: Failed to change power level".
