Description

Pull request #219 used [MSC3266: Room summary API](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3266) to display information about rooms. That MSC has not yet passed FCP and is not enabled by default on homeservers.

However, [MSC2946: Spaces Summary](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2946) _has_ passed FCP and _is_ enabled by default in Synapse.

It _should_ be possible to use MSC2946 instead of MSC3266 to get the same information, but in a way that is formally part of the Matrix spec, and thus more widely supported.

Research direction

Review pull request #219 and the current MSC3266 usage, then compare the relevant Matrix MSC2946 summary flow. Confirm that the existing room/Space summary display works through MSC2946 and that the old MSC3266 path is no longer required.
