[Feature Request] Add option to disable typing notification

[rubo77]

Description

I don't want to see the typing notification of other users, when they are typing. This is disturbing and stealing my time, because I cannot stop thinking about the oncoming message ;)

Solution

Add an extra option in settings to suppress typing notifications from others.

Workaround

Add this style with Stylish that injects those CSS:

.mx_RoomStatusBar_typingBar, .mx_RoomStatusBar_typingIndicatorAvatars > img:nth-child(1) {
    display:none;
}

Correct me if I'm mistaken but shouldn't that be an issue for matrix-react-sdk? I couldn't find anything related to typing notifications in riot's code, only in matrix-react-sdk.
If so, I would gladly open an issue there and take care of it.

Issues for any of the Riot components get filed on this repo (matrix-react-sdk doesn't even have issues enabled). matrix-react-sdk and this repo should basically be considered one thing.

The only exception would be if you are using matrix-js-sdk for a non Riot purpose, then you would file an issue there.

@schwukas : you can create a PR in the matrix-react-sdk that would add this and link here, I would be glad, since the workaround only works, if you use Riot in a browser. The stand-alone riot-app cannot be invoced with such a style workaround

I just did. I only was bit hesitant because this is my first contribution to the project. You can find the PR here
