Description
AKA "join keys" on IRC. The idea that anyone can join an invite-only room if they present some shared secret.
Wanted because Matrix Internal is now invite-only, meaning the Matrix<->IRC bridge bot can no longer join, nor have its ghosts join the room.
(Imported from https://matrix.org/jira/browse/SPEC-61)
