Fix checking whether a room can be published on creation. (#11392)

If `room_list_publication_rules` was configured with a rule with a
non-wildcard alias and a room was created with an alias then an
internal server error would have been thrown.

This fixes the error and properly applies the publication rules
during room creation.
