Matrix account suspension

Unlike account locking, suspension allows the user to have a (largely) readonly view of their account. Homeserver administrators and moderators may use this functionality to temporarily deactivate an account, or place conditions on the account's experience. Critically, like locking, account suspension is reversible, unlike the deactivation mechanism currently available in Matrix - a destructive, irreversible, action.

Required:

• matrix-synapse admin token
• SSH access to host nachtigall
