Hide room version fragments from table of contents (#3479)
The entries were text-less and not really helping anyone. They are included as pages because we need them for templating, but we don't need people to be able to land on them directly.

{{% added-in this=true %}} In room versions 1 and 2, events need a
signature from the domain of the `event_id` in order to be considered
valid. This room version does not include an `event_id` over federation
in the same respect, so does not need a signature from that server.
The event must still be signed by the server denoted by the `sender`,
however.
The types of state events that affect authorization are:
- `m.room.create`
- `m.room.member`
- `m.room.join_rules`
- `m.room.power_levels`
- `m.room.third_party_invite`
{{% boxes/note %}}
Power levels are inferred from defaults when not explicitly supplied.
For example, mentions of the `sender`'s power level can also refer to
the default power level for users in the room.
{{% /boxes/note %}}
The complete list of rules, as of room version 3, is as follows:
1. If type is `m.room.create`:
1. If it has any previous events, reject.
2. If the domain of the `room_id` does not match the domain of the
`sender`, reject.
3. If `content.room_version` is present and is not a recognised
version, reject.
4. If `content` has no `creator` field, reject.
5. Otherwise, allow.
2. Reject if event has `auth_events` that:
1. have duplicate entries for a given `type` and `state_key` pair
2. have entries whose `type` and `state_key` don't match those
specified by the [auth events
selection](/server-server-api#auth-events-selection)
algorithm described in the server specification.
3. If event does not have a `m.room.create` in its `auth_events`,
reject.
4. If type is `m.room.aliases`:
1. If event has no `state_key`, reject.
2. If sender's domain doesn't matches `state_key`, reject.
3. Otherwise, allow.
5. If type is `m.room.member`:
1. If no `state_key` key or `membership` key in `content`, reject.
2. If `membership` is `join`:
1. If the only previous event is an `m.room.create` and the
`state_key` is the creator, allow.
2. If the `sender` does not match `state_key`, reject.
3. If the `sender` is banned, reject.
4. If the `join_rule` is `invite` then allow if membership
state is `invite` or `join`.
5. If the `join_rule` is `public`, allow.
6. Otherwise, reject.
3. If `membership` is `invite`:
1. If `content` has `third_party_invite` key:
1. If *target user* is banned, reject.
2. If `content.third_party_invite` does not have a `signed`
key, reject.
3. If `signed` does not have `mxid` and `token` keys,
reject.
4. If `mxid` does not match `state_key`, reject.
5. If there is no `m.room.third_party_invite` event in the
current room state with `state_key` matching `token`,
reject.
6. If `sender` does not match `sender` of the
`m.room.third_party_invite`, reject.
7. If any signature in `signed` matches any public key in
the `m.room.third_party_invite` event, allow. The public
keys are in `content` of `m.room.third_party_invite` as:
1. A single public key in the `public_key` field.
2. A list of public keys in the `public_keys` field.
8. Otherwise, reject.
2. If the `sender`'s current membership state is not `join`,
reject.
3. If *target user*'s current membership state is `join` or
`ban`, reject.
4. If the `sender`'s power level is greater than or equal to
the *invite level*, allow.
5. Otherwise, reject.
4. If `membership` is `leave`:
1. If the `sender` matches `state_key`, allow if and only if
that user's current membership state is `invite` or `join`.
2. If the `sender`'s current membership state is not `join`,
reject.
3. If the *target user*'s current membership state is `ban`,
and the `sender`'s power level is less than the *ban level*,
reject.
4. If the `sender`'s power level is greater than or equal to
the *kick level*, and the *target user*'s power level is
less than the `sender`'s power level, allow.
5. Otherwise, reject.
5. If `membership` is `ban`:
1. If the `sender`'s current membership state is not `join`,
reject.
2. If the `sender`'s power level is greater than or equal to
the *ban level*, and the *target user*'s power level is less
than the `sender`'s power level, allow.
3. Otherwise, reject.
6. Otherwise, the membership is unknown. Reject.
6. If the `sender`'s current membership state is not `join`, reject.
7. If type is `m.room.third_party_invite`:
1. Allow if and only if `sender`'s current power level is greater
than or equal to the *invite level*.
8. If the event type's *required power level* is greater than the
`sender`'s power level, reject.
9. If the event has a `state_key` that starts with an `@` and does not
match the `sender`, reject.
10. If type is `m.room.power_levels`:
1. If `users` key in `content` is not a dictionary with keys that
are valid user IDs with values that are integers (or a string
that is an integer), reject.
2. If there is no previous `m.room.power_levels` event in the room,
allow.
3. For the keys `users_default`, `events_default`, `state_default`,
`ban`, `redact`, `kick`, `invite` check if they were added,
changed or removed. For each found alteration:
1. If the current value is higher than the `sender`'s current
power level, reject.
2. If the new value is higher than the `sender`'s current power
level, reject.
4. For each entry being added, changed or removed in both the
`events` and `users` keys:
1. If the current value is higher than the `sender`'s current
power level, reject.
2. If the new value is higher than the `sender`'s current power
level, reject.
5. For each entry being changed under the `users` key, other than
the `sender`'s own entry:
1. If the current value is equal to the `sender`'s current
power level, reject.
6. Otherwise, allow.
11. Otherwise, allow.

Some consequences of these rules:
- Unless you are a member of the room, the only permitted operations
(apart from the initial create/join) are: joining a public room;
accepting or rejecting an invitation to a room.
- To unban somebody, you must have power level greater than or equal
to both the kick *and* ban levels, *and* greater than the target
user's power level.
