Description
**Link to problem area**: https://spec.matrix.org/v1.2/client-server-api/#get_matrixclientv3sync
**Issue**
From https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12363#issuecomment-1087668602; It's unclear if a client should *always* interpret any room ID - even those with no additional information inside its metadata object - should be interpreted as unambiguously "left", as there is no explicit spec text detailing this.

Determine the intended interpretation of room IDs in `leave` entries whose metadata object has no additional information, then clarify the specification so the client's required behavior is explicit.
