Description
### Description
Containing unstable non-prefixed `historical`
The historical field is from MSC2716 which has not yet reached FCP so at best this should be behind an opt-in flag, definitely should not have polluted countless rooms with a field which lacks namespacing.
matrix.org for example does not signal in `/versions` that it has `org.matrix.msc2716` support - yet does this anyway.
The MSC states namespacing for this field is not needed because it relies on an experimental room version `org.matrix.msc2716` & `org.matrix.msc2716v2` which matrix.org does not even claim it supports.

### Steps to reproduce
1. create a new room with a stock Synapse
2. inspect `m.room.power_levels` event
