Fixes #30861

In Short

This PR restores the "People" and "Favourites" metaspaces for the new room list.

Until this gets merged, I'll maintain

  • a deployment
  • docker images
    • v1.12.0 k8r.eu/justjanne/element-web:v1.12.0
    • develop k8r.eu/justjanne/element-web:develop
  • packages for Ubuntu and Windows (TODO)

Rationale

Many group chat apps have a separate view just for DMs. Discord calls this "Friends" (vs "Servers"), Teams calls this "Chats" (vs "Teams"), Slack introduced the "DMs" view in 2023 (vs "Channels").

Many people rely on this feature, and so do I.

Code-wise looks fine but needs product sign off to continue

Actually, upon testing, this doesn't seem to return either of the setting pages necessary to enable those metaspaces, so this would only work for users which already have those metaspaces enabled.

Good point, should've thought of that. EDIT: Done

Are there any tests I'd have to update for this? I haven't checked whether the new room list changes also affected the E2E tests yet. EDIT: Found them.
