 Home Server -> Application Service API
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-This contains application service APIs which are used by the home server. All
-application services MUST implement these APIs.
-
-User Query
-++++++++++
-
-This API is called by the HS to query the existence of a user on the Application
-Service's namespace.
-
-Inputs:
- - User ID
- - HS Credentials
-Output:
- - Whether the user exists.
-Side effects:
- - User is created on the HS by the AS via CS APIs during the processing of this request.
-API called when:
- - HS receives an event for an unknown user ID in the AS's namespace, e.g. an
-   invite event to a room.
-Notes:
- - When the AS receives this request, if the user exists, it must `create the user`_ via
-   the CS API.
- - It can also set arbitrary information about the user (e.g. display name, join rooms, etc)
-   using the CS API.
- - When this setup is complete, the AS should respond to the HS request. This means the AS 
-   blocks the HS until the user is created.
- - This is deemed more flexible than alternative methods (e.g. returning a JSON blob with the
-   user's display name and get the HS to provision the user).
-Retry notes:
- - The home server cannot respond to the client's request until the response to
-   this API is obtained from the AS.
- - Recommended that home servers try a few times then time out, returning a
-   408 Request Timeout to the client.
-

-
- GET /users/$user_id?access_token=$hs_token
- 
- Returns:

-Room Alias Query
-++++++++++++++++
-This API is called by the HS to query the existence of a room alias on the 
-Application Service's namespace.
-
-Inputs:
- - Room alias
- - HS Credentials
-Output:
- - Whether the room exists.
-Side effects:
- - Room is created on the HS by the AS via CS APIs during the processing of 
-   this request.
-API called when:
- - HS receives an event to join a room alias in the AS's namespace.
-Notes:
- - When the AS receives this request, if the room exists, it must create the room via
-   the CS API.
- - It can also set arbitrary information about the room (e.g. name, topic, etc)
-   using the CS API.
- - It can send messages as other users in order to populate scrollback.
- - When this setup is complete, the AS should respond to the HS request. This means the AS 
-   blocks the HS until the room is created and configured.
- - This is deemed more flexible than alternative methods (e.g. returning an initial sync
-   style JSON blob and get the HS to provision the room). It also means that the AS knows
-   the room ID -> alias mapping.
-Retry notes:
- - The home server cannot respond to the client's request until the response to
