Admin API to query the topic and avatar of a given room

[rxl881]

It would be useful for a server admin to be able to query the topic and avatar of rooms (without joining).

It seems like this was already added in #7317: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/docs/admin_api/rooms.md#draft-room-details-api

I am probably being blind, but I can't see the room topic (not room name) or avatar in the list of fields returned in the JSON response body? Please do say if I'm just not seeing it.

e.g, from the docs:

{
  "room_id": "!mscvqgqpHYjBGDxNym:matrix.org",
  "name": "Music Theory",
  "canonical_alias": "#musictheory:matrix.org",
  "joined_members": 127
  "joined_local_members": 2,
  "version": "1",
  "creator": "@foo:matrix.org",
  "encryption": null,
  "federatable": true,
  "public": true,
  "join_rules": "invite",
  "guest_access": null,
  "history_visibility": "shared",
  "state_events": 93534
}

Oops, sorry, I didn't read the issue carefully enough. It should be fairly trivial to add to that room details endpoint though. The implementation seems to use the room_stats_state table, which does contain avatar and topic fields

Cool. Thanks
