Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
This is a hard to spot error, but hookshot can still be useful in e2ee rooms even without crypto support: once set up, post its messages unencrypted.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
Notify that e2ee isn't supported when joining an e2ee room
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Replying to each message it can't decrypt isn't too great.
**Additional context**
Auto-creating the widget, once it supports all services, would be a great workaround. In my case it didn't do that and I needed to send the widget creation command to the room manually from an unencrypted client.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the room-join handling and the existing behavior for encrypted rooms, then define the notification shown when Hookshot joins an e2ee room; done means users are clearly informed that encryption is unsupported while unencrypted messages can still be posted.
