Add instant_messaging module; modify batesian section rules

Previously, all `m.room.*` events were wodged into `{{room_events}}` which
isn't great when you want to pull specific ones out. Batesian had a 1:1
mapping of `render_foo()` to a section `{{foo}}`, and having to constantly
add functions for new types is a PITA. Batesian now supports returning a
`dict` instead of a section `string` where the keys are the `{{foo}}` and
the value is what will be inserted. Also add conflicting section key checks
to avoid multiple definitions of the same `{{foo}}`. Define dicts for
event schemata and swagger HTTP APIs.

Using this new feature, split out the instant messaging stuff from the events
section, and replace `{{room_events}}` with a list of specific events e.g.
`{{m_room_member_event}}`.

This specification outlines several standard event types, all of which are
prefixed with ``m.``
{{room_events}}
m.room.message msgtypes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. TODO-spec
How a client should handle unknown message types.
Each `m.room.message`_ MUST have a ``msgtype`` key which identifies the type
of message being sent. Each type has their own required and optional keys, as
outlined below.
{{msgtype_events}}
Presence Events
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
{{presence_events}}
Each user has the concept of presence information. This encodes the
"availability" of that user, suitable for display on other user's clients.
This is transmitted as an ``m.presence`` event and is one of the few events
which are sent *outside the context of a room*. The basic piece of presence
information is represented by the ``presence`` key, which is an enum of one
of the following:
- ``online`` : The default state when the user is connected to an event
stream.
- ``unavailable`` : The user is not reachable at this time.
- ``offline`` : The user is not connected to an event stream.
- ``free_for_chat`` : The user is generally willing to receive messages
moreso than default.
- ``hidden`` : Behaves as offline, but allows the user to see the client
state anyway and generally interact with client features. (Not yet
implemented in synapse).
In addition, the server maintains a timestamp of the last time it saw a
pro-active event from the user; either sending a message to a room, or
changing presence state from a lower to a higher level of availability
(thus: changing state from ``unavailable`` to ``online`` counts as a
proactive event, whereas in the other direction it will not). This timestamp
is presented via a key called ``last_active_ago``, which gives the relative
number of milliseconds since the message is generated/emitted that the user
was last seen active.
Events on Change of Profile Information
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Because the profile displayname and avatar information are likely to be used in
many places of a client's display, changes to these fields cause an automatic
propagation event to occur, informing likely-interested parties of the new
values. This change is conveyed using two separate mechanisms:
- a ``m.room.member`` event is sent to every room the user is a member of,
to update the ``displayname`` and ``avatar_url``.
- a ``m.presence`` presence status update is sent, again containing the new values of the
``displayname`` and ``avatar_url`` keys, in addition to the required
``presence`` key containing the current presence state of the user.
Both of these should be done automatically by the home server when a user
successfully changes their displayname or avatar URL fields.
Additionally, when home servers emit room membership events for their own
users, they should include the displayname and avatar URL fields in these
events so that clients already have these details to hand, and do not have to
perform extra roundtrips to query it.
