Description
### Your use case
#### What would you like to do?
Add an option in the advanced settings to hide deleted messages instead of showing "message deleted". This feature exists in the old Element Android.
#### Why would you like to do it?
Give users to option to hide unnecessary "message deleted" placeholders.
#### How would you like to achieve it?
- Add option to the advanced settings. I'm not sure whether the hiding behavior should be the default. In the old Android app, turning the setting off (default I think) hides the messages
- filter redacted events in the timeline, also hide date headers if all messages under that header are redacted
