We don't provide enough info in invites to unnamed rooms to name them correctly in clients.

Description
This issue has been migrated from [#12835](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12835).
---
If you:
* create a private room (e.g. a DM)
* invite someone to it
* their client will show an invite that says "Matthew invited you to chat", rather than showing the correct synthetic name of the room (e.g. "Matthew and Amandine and 5 others").
We should provide sufficient state in the invite event for the target client to correctly synthesise the right name.
If this needs a spec change, then i'd expect one to be filed alongside fixing this in synapse.
This is a major UX shortcoming - refiled from https://github.com/vector-im/element-meta/issues/379
