Feature request: Password-protected rooms

[janlelis]

• First user who joins a room includes a password in their join message
• Other users joining the channel need that password in their join message, too

What do you think?

Proposition for a protocol change: Make the join_room take an optional "password" field. What would then need to happen:

• if the room does not exist yet and password field is set: make the room password protected
• if somebody wants to join a password protected room: if password is set and is the same: all as usual, if password is wrong, send back a {event: "error", description: "password_mismatch"} event

Sounds good to me 👍

We should make a little threat analysis. Maybe in a meeting?

I would be up to it!
