give example of creating a read-only room.
Permissions for rooms are done via the concept of power levels - to do any
action in a room a user must have a suitable power level.
Power levels for users are defined in ``m.room.power_levels``, where both
a default and specific users' power levels can be set. By default all users
have a power level of 0.
State events may contain a ``required_power_level`` key, which indicates the
minimum power a user must have before they can update that state key. The only
exception to this is when a user leaves a room.
To perform certain actions there are additional power level requirements
defined in the following state events:
- ``m.room.send_event_level`` defines the minimum level for sending non-state
events. Defaults to 5.
- ``m.room.add_state_level`` defines the minimum level for adding new state,
rather than updating existing state. Defaults to 5.
- ``m.room.ops_level`` defines the minimum levels to ban and kick other users.
This defaults to a kick and ban levels of 5 each.
