It'd be fun and useful to optionally show whether a user is currently interacting with matrix via a phone, browser or whatever. a bit like fb does. it'd make people more sympathetic to typos and response time etc

To remain compatible with old clients, I'd suggest a new key in m.typing. I can't come up with a good name, so let's call it user_ids_ex. The new content then would be:

{
  "user_ids": ["u1", "u2"],
  "user_ids_ex": {
    "u1": ["m.web", "im.riot.web"],
    "u2": ["m.mobile", "im.riot.android"]
  }
}

The idea here is the first value is a standard one, while the second is a custom one, so clients aware of the latter type can even show an icon of that client. Or maybe just stick to one value.

In a future (final v1?) version user_ids_ex could even completely replace the old one.

Oh, and users should also choose not to disclose their client type, which may be denoted as m.undisclosed.

Track the user's own typing state external to the composer
cd089a3 
Fixes element-hq/element-web#9986

There's a few reasons for pushing this out to its own place:
* In future, we might want to move WhoIsTyping here.
* We have multiple composers now, and although they don't send typing notifications, they could (see https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/10188)
* In future we may have status for where/what the user is typing (https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues/437)
* The composer is complicated enough - it doesn't need to dedupe typing states too.

Note: This makes use of the principles introduced in element-hq/element-web#8923 and element-hq/element-web#9090

and what the user is "typing", eg: uploading files (https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/7068) or recording a video/audio clip.
