Relates to element-hq/element-ios#4858
The directory/room/<room_alias> endpoint used to convert room alias to a room identifier returns a list of servers that are aware of the room. In the existing SDK implementation this list of servers is never stored (we only grab the identifier), meaning that if we later want to join this room from another home server, it is no longer possible without the knowledge of the servers.
To solve this on the SDK side, store both
room_id
as well as list ofservers
in a newMXRoomAliasResolution
object which can be fetched viaresolveRoomAlias
endpoint, replacing the simplerroomIdForAlias
