Implement set/unset/show for alternative and canonical aliases #279

Closed Lymkwi closed 2 months ago

Lymkwi commented 5 months ago

This commit solves #50 by providing a way to:

Set the canonical alias of a room (destroying the previous one if any)
Unset the canonical alias of a room (destroying the previous one if any)
Add an alternative alias to a room
Delete an alternative alias to a room (destroying it afterwards)

This is a really great addition! Thank you so much for adding this, @Lymkwi ! :partying_face:

While playing around with this, I ended up changing the behaviour when setting a new canonical alias to put it into the alt aliases instead, so that people have a natural way to set new canonical aliases while keeping the old around for joining. If someone does want to get rid of it, then they can do :room alias unset #oldcanonicalalias:homeserver.com.
