Add a configuration option to set a default ACL for rooms created on the homeserver.
This should come with a big warning to say that these ACs will not be automatically updated, and are not a substitution for moderation bots.

Given the client can specify additional initial state events when creating a room, this could be as simple as appending/adding a default m.room.server_acl event.
There could be a config option such as default_acl_deny, which is just an array of patterns to exclude, and default_acl_allow which does the inverse. It's worth mentioning that deny overrides allow, so the two options should probably be mutually exclusive.

Given [the client can specify additional initial state events](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.14/client-server-api/#post_matrixclientv3createroom) when creating a room, this could be as simple as appending/adding a default `m.room.server_acl` event. There could be a config option such as `default_acl_deny`, which is just an array of patterns to exclude, and `default_acl_allow` which does the inverse. It's worth mentioning that **deny overrides allow**, so the two options should probably be mutually exclusive.
