Description

See https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.3.0.html#id57 for documentation. Consider implementing so that doing anything with a particular event automatically marks it as read (would only be desirable for bots, so implementation would have to account for that somehow).

Research direction

Start with the linked Matrix Client-Server specification section on read receipts, then inspect the SDK's event-handling entry points to determine where an event is considered handled. The behavior must support automatically marking a particular event as read for bots while accounting for non-bot clients; the issue does not name files or tests.
