Description

It should be possible to retrieve the name of an `MXRoom` that a user has been invited to before joining.
Currently the `room.state.name` or and `room.summary.displayname` are both `nil` before joining the room, when they should have the names instead.

Research direction

Start by tracing how pending invitation rooms populate room.state.name and room.summary.displayname before the user joins. Reproduce the pre-join state described in the issue, then identify the existing room metadata retrieval path. Done means both properties expose the MXRoom name while the invitation is still pending.
