Research direction
Search the Matrix specification for the `m.identity_server` account-data entry and read the discussion in issue 10704 for context. Clarify the specification so that falsy or otherwise invalid values mean that no identity server is configured, equivalent to `null`; update any relevant specification text or examples.
