If the 3PID is hashed, the identity server could not determine the address

This proposal thus calls for the Identity Service API's /lookup endpoint to use

## Fallback considerations
`v1` versions of these endpoints may be disabled at the discretion of the
implementation, and should return a 403 `M_FORBIDDEN` error if so.

If an identity server is too old and a HTTP 400 or 404 is received when
accessing the `v2` endpoint, they should fallback to the `v1` endpoint instead.
However, clients should be aware that plain-text 3PIDs are required for the
`v1` endpoint, and SHOULD ask for user consent to send 3PIDs in plain-text, and
