Matrix public archive

NB: This project is very much a work-in-progress (WIP)! Undocumented config/secrets, using a draft branch of Hydrogen, etc.

In the vein of feature parity with Gitter, the goal is to make a public archive site for world_readable Matrix rooms like Gitter's archives which search engines can index and keep all of the content accessible/available. There is already https://view.matrix.org/ (https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-static) but there is some desire to make something with more Element-feeling polish and loading faster (avoid the slow 502's errors that are frequent on view.matrix.org).

Plan summary

The plan is to server-side render (SSR) the Hydrogen Matrix client on a Node.js server (since both use JavaScript) and serve pages on the fly (probably with some Cloudflare caching on top) when someone requests /archives/${year}/${month}/${day}. To fetch the events for a given day/time, we will use MSC3030's /timestamp_to_event endpoint to jump to a given day in the timeline and fetch the messages from a Matrix homeserver.

Re-using Hydrogen gets us pretty and native(to Element) looking styles and keeps the maintenance burden of supporting more event types in Hydrogen.
