Expose whether a room is a space in the Admin API

[anoadragon453]

Currently there is no way to tell whether a given room is a space or not through Synapse's Admin API.

Ideally, this would be exposed in both the List Room and Room Details APIs.

I suggest to expose a type property which returns the room type. The type would mirror the room's m.room.create event's content.type property. For a space, as specified by MSC1772 as m.space.

Ok, I'll work on it :)

I am not sure if the information (room vs. space) perhaps should become a attribut/column in room_stats_state or rooms table instead read it every time from the m.room.create event.

Is this issue still open? I'd like to work on it as well.

Yes, it is still open: #11934 (comment)
