Description

This issue has been migrated from [#15813](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/15813).

---

https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/6c749c51244df582cce8579f99a0856f79145c2e/synapse/handlers/register.py#L606-L620

Problems include:

1. If auto join is enabled *after* the first real user is created.
2. Adding bots or support users will skip creating room, but will still try and join

We should change this to create the room if the room doesn't already exist, or something like that.
