When creating private rooms outside of a space, Element Web, Element Android and Element iOS set history visibility to shared.

When creating non-public rooms inside a space, Element Android an Element iOS set history visibility to shared, however Element Web sets it to invite.

In my opinion, Element Android and Element iOS have the best behavior, since I believe if someone creates a room in a space and makes it visible from space members, and the space is already public, the most sensible option is to share all the history, like most rooms on matrix.org.

This is closely related to matrix-org/matrix-spec#633, which notes that there is no clear definition of "private room".

Seems to be a duplicate of #377
