Description
Add a way to search for rooms.
Right now with the API and the client you can only look for rooms the user is subscribed for or one which we already know the address or the alias, but there is no way to search the list of all rooms.

Research direction
The issue names the API and client but no files or tests. Start by tracing the existing room lookup methods in both layers and check whether Matrix exposes a suitable all-room search operation. Done means users can search rooms beyond their subscriptions or already-known addresses and aliases, with coverage for the new behavior.
