Do not require identity assertion when trying to read an event from a room that an appservice user is in #944

Suggestion for a significant extension which needs considerable consideration
Currently, the spec requires (or synapse requires, unsure at this point) that when reading something from a room (e.g an event) that an appservice must masquerade as a user within that room. This is unhelpful if the appservice isn't aware of who is in the room, only that one of it's users are in there.
If an appservice has any users joined to a room, it should be able to query event information from that room without having to supply a user_id parameter.
