The spec had an erroneous `room_id` field in a m.typing EDU entry of /sync, `m.read` receipts in `/sync`, and `m.fully_read` room account data objects in the spec. None of these are necessary nor used in practice.
Checking part of the ecosystem for whether clients look for, or homeservers include, these room_id fields, I found that:
Element does not require them, nor does Synapse include them.
Ruma does not include them.
Dendrite does not include them.
nheko/mtxclient does not look for them.
This change removes room_id from the example and OpenAPI schema in each case mentioned above. It only affects the Client-Server spec - the Server-Server spec text remains unchanged.
The field was initially introduced in 0f28f83.
Fixes#3641
The spec says the name field in m.room.name events must not exceed 255 bytes but no servers actually enforce this over the C-S API. Clients should probably already be truncating room names to an appropriate length for their user interface.

* Fix membership state table and diagram
There were 2 missing cases which are legal:
* `invite->knock` (a fairly silly thing to do, but legal under the auth rules)
* `external->leave (via /kick)` (another somewhat silly thing to do, but no different than `external->ban (via /ban)`)
The state table considered the first as illegal, which is untrue.

As per MSC3567, the `from` parameter is now optional for the `/messages` endpoint to allow fetching first or latest room content without having to rely on `/sync`

* Fix m.login.appservice -> m.login.application_service
Implementations seem to agree with the proposal, so I'd suggest we fix the typo in the spec. I don't *think* this needs a MSC as the original proposal was fine, and this was just a copy error.

* Fix knock->leave transition in auth rules
This was an oversight from knocking being added.
For safety, this has been verified as at least intended by Synapse to work:
f5e2cde3f5/synapse/event_auth.py (L390-L391)
* changelog
Fixes#3305Fixes#3380
The idea here is to better distinguish between a 'raw' event (as we send over the wire), and the
'serialised' format, as sent in responses to the C-S api and in `PUT /_matrix/app/v1/transactions/{txnId}`.
It's made more complicated by the fact that there are _two_ serialisation formats, one used by `/sync`
and `/notifications`, and one by everything else (the difference being whether `room_id` is included).
In an ideal world, we wouldn't repeat `SerialisedEvent` every time it's used, and instead just link to the
first reference, but that's a job for another day.
Another job for another day is to get rid of things like `sync_state_event.yaml` (which is now used
only in one place, so should be inlined.)
* Update documentation style & fix room version heading order
Also add a missing signing key section to v6.
This additionally contains various edits to the fragments to have them make a little bit more sense in context.
Finally, this updates various aspects of the documentation style which haven't previously been considered - they're added here considering we're in the area.

* Alter for modern day
* Add changelog
* specify that we're using the grammar
* Add HTTP 403 to possible profile responses
Some servers may not allow profile lookup over federation, and thus
respond to GET /_matrix/client/v3/profile/{userId} with an HTTP 403.
For example, Synapse can be configured to behave in this way by setting:
allow_profile_lookup_over_federation=false
Thus, this behavior already exists in the wild, and may cause issues for
clients such as https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/17269.
Synapse could alter its behavior and return an HTTP 404 in these cases,
but amending the Spec seems preferable to align with extant behavior.
Further, allowing HTTP 403 gives clients more specific information as to
why a request has failed, enabling more precise error handling.

Remove a bunch of fields from the `unsigned` property of PDUs. These things
shouldn't be passed over the Federation API, and they *really* shouldn't be
trusted if they are sent by another server.
* `replaces_state` *is* returned by Synapse, but probably shouldn't
be.
* `redacted_because`, `prev_sender` and `prev_content` are not sent by Synapse.
Split the text about event IDs and event formats into separate sections. This
is largely to make it easier to link to, but I think the resulting text makes
more sense too.
* Remove entries which don't affect the rendered spec (sorry people using the swagger schemas - we'll have to figure out a changelog for you). See https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues/3475
* Note that a breaking change is removed by this commit: key backup was introduced in this release cycle, so is not breaking.
* Use uniform references to MSCs ("as per MSC0000").
* General rewording to be consistent with the overall voice of the changelog.
* Condensing of entries where needed to make them fit in the changelog.
* Rewording to collapse entries into fewer lines.
* Spell "deprecation" correctly in file extension.
This fixes the behaviour to match what synapse implements in practice.
If you use threepidCreds, you will just get an error about a missing
threepid_creds field. Synapse also treats this as an object. All clients
also seem to send threepid_creds, if they work on Synapse. Since
matrix.org requires an email currently for registration, most clients
that implement registration, will hit this issue.

This tweaks the DAG to be simpler, with two linear event chains E4 -> E3
-> E2 -> E1 and E6 -> E5 -> E2 -> E1. The extremities of the DAG are now
the first and only point in the DAG where multiple event parents occur.
Since the point of the diagram is to demonstrate this very situation,
it's better didactically if there is only one such situation in the
diagram.
The Pagination section in the C-S API was, basically, full of rubbish. I think that anything of any value it contained was repeated either directly on the API definitions or in the text specific to syncing at https://spec.matrix.org/unstable/client-server-api/#syncing.
The conventions I've added to the Appendices are based on the discussions in #1898. They are there because I don't want to have to go through it all again next time we add a paginated API.
