Improve the UX for rooms that don't have a canonical alias

Joshua Goinsrequested to merge
work/redstrate/alias-alias-alias into master

This was discovered none other than Bug Catcher Nate, while in the TWiKS room. That room doesn't have a canonical alias set (yet) and that exposed some UX problems around aliases in NeoChat.

First, the non-canonical alias isn't shown in the info drawer despite being the only alias available. This is something that Element actually does, and now NeoChat does too.

Second, NeoChat will try to copy the room's internal Matrix ID (which is not that great) to the clipboard because it looks for the canonical alias. Surprisingly, Element also does this but now NeoChat doesn't.
