Similarly to https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/16059 setting a new avatar via `/_matrix/client/v3/profile/{userId}/avatar_url` also marks all notifications as read, as in, marks all rooms that have "unread notifications" as done.
### Steps to reproduce
- have a room with unread messages
- set a new avatar in your settings
- see the notification count disappearing
