Check required power levels earlier in createRoom handler. (#15695)
* Check required power levels earlier in createRoom handler.

- If a server was configured to reject the creation of rooms with E2EE
  enabled (by specifying an unattainably high power level for
  "m.room.encryption" in default_power_level_content_override), the 403
  error was not being triggered until after the room was created and
  before the "m.room.power_levels" was sent.  This allowed a user to
  access the partially-configured room and complete the setup of E2EE
  and power levels manually.

- This change causes the power level overrides to be checked earlier and
  the request to be rejected before the user gains access to the room.

- A new `_validate_room_config` method is added to contain checks that
  should be run before a room is created.

- The new test case confirms that a user request is rejected by the new
  validation method.
