Work with read receipts

[non-Jedi]

See https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.3.0.html#id57 for documentation. Consider implementing so that doing anything with a particular event automatically marks it as read (would only be desirable for bots, so implementation would have to account for that somehow).

I want to implement this but I cannot think of actions done by bot which will send read receipt automatically. Instead I think we should leave it to the bot to send read receipt ? So the bot workflow would be:

1. Listen to events.
2. Iterate through new events.
3. Process new events.
4. Send read receipt at the end of new events.

I think any such function should be added to room object, as it is read-reciept are room specific. Suggestions ?

I do not need it as an automatic mechanism but a manual thing: When you have a real interactive client you need to make a receipt explicitely when you see the room (and in addition when a new event occurs and I am in the room). This situation is not transparent for the library. So it needs a callable function for this.
