Invite-Proxy 'Bot #368

This has nothing to do with #61 . The concept is to, by proxy, e.g. the 'bot, send an /invite to a MXID in a room where the 'bot is present, but the sender is not present. A use-case might be for redirecting another MXID into a room, for example, politely redirecting some user looking for quantity of activity into some off-topic or lounge room i.e. #offtopic:example.com where the sender has no interest in /joining that room. However a sender may ALSO be in such other room, but it might be quicker to trigger the 'bot in the common room rather than navigating away, and there is no concern for privately triggering the 'bot in a Direct Chat Message with the 'bot. Syntax could hypothetically be similar to: !invitebot invite < @somemxid:example.com > < #someroom:example.com | !someroomid:example.com >.
