Description

We have an entire ecosystem relying on https://github.com/mautrix/go for cryptography for bridges. It does not use rust SDK FFI or JS SDK, instead rolling its own SDK layer.

As a result, [we lack confidence](https://github.com/element-hq/element-meta/issues/2387) it doesn't have bugs which can cause UTDs. We should add a new `m` target which will drive mautrix, similar to how we have `j` for js-sdk and `r` for rust SDK FFI.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the existing `j` target for js-sdk and `r` target for Rust SDK FFI, then determine how a new `m` target would drive mautrix/go. Done means mautrix/go is exercised through that target to help identify bugs that can cause UTDs.
