Protected rooms, watched policy lists, protection settings and the set of
users allowed to command a bot all belong to a management room rather than
to the bot, and a room can be protected from only one of them. That is what
makes it possible to delegate a single room to another moderator without
handing over power in every other protected room, so it is worth spelling
out, along with what such a split does not cover: the variables naming one
management room, and policy lists shared through subscriptions.
Adding a second management room also means declaring the rooms of a bot
which had been auto-creating its own, which is a step with a sharp edge:
once the bot is no longer auto-creating, any of its rooms missing from the
declaration is unregistered. Document that path and warn about it.
Also drop a note describing "!lists subscribe --insert-before" as a future
release. The role has shipped a version carrying it since v0.2608.0.

⚡Quick start (for beginners): this is recommended for those who do not have an existing Matrix server and want to start quickly with "opinionated defaults".
Full installation guide (for advanced users): if you need to import an existing Matrix server's data into the new server or want to learn more while setting up the server, follow this guide.
