Check for space membership during a remote join of a restricted room (#9814)

When receiving a /send_join request for a room with join rules set to 'restricted',
check if the user is a member of the spaces defined in the 'allow' key of the join rules.

This only applies to an experimental room version, as defined in MSC3083.
