Description

https://github.com/vector-im/vector-web/issues/807 calls for the ability for Vector to peek into invites if the user wants to see the content before accepting/rejecting them. This means changing the invite dance somehow. Ideas welcome.

(Imported from https://matrix.org/jira/browse/SPEC-368)
