Description

### Is your feature request related to a problem?

no

### Describe the solution you'd like

Hello,

I wonder if it would be possible to implement a new **notification transport method** using **Matrix**, so notifications are sent to users via the matrix.org protocol, instead of Email or Webhook, which are already in place.

Maybe the settings could allow specifying a matrix account id `@authentik:server.tld` and an "application password", so users get Authentik notifications sent from this account to their matrix user.

I don't know the internals or architecture of Authentik enough yet, maybe this is also not an enviable feature.

Regards

Research direction

The issue names existing Email and Webhook notification transports but no files or tests. Start by locating those transport implementations and their configuration entry points, then determine how a Matrix account and application password would fit the notification architecture. Done means a supported Matrix transport can be configured and sends Authentik notifications to Matrix users.
