Invite metadata should include m.room.aliases as well as m.room.canonical_alias (SYN-551)

[matrixbot]

As per element-hq/element-web#321 we'd like invite metadata to include both m.room.aliases as well as m.room.canonical_alias, as if a room has no canonical alias or name set (e.g. #test:matrix.org), we otherwise have no way to refer to it in the UI.

I thought the correct behaviour was to start listing members if there is neither a name nor a canonical alias?

I would rather we fix:

• pre-existing rooms that should have a name to have a name and canonical alias
• clients to follow the guidelines on how to display rooms

than including a work around in the Spec.

yup let's use canonical_alias
