Room List - Implement a minimal view model (#29357)

* Implement enough of the new store to get a list of rooms

* Make it possible to swap sorting algorithm

* Don't attach to window object

We don't want the store to be created if the labs flag is off

* Remove the store class

Probably best to include this PR with the minimal vm implmentation

* Create a new room list store that wraps around the skip list

* Create a minimal view model

* Fix CI

* Add some basic tests for the store

* Write more tests

* Add some jsdoc comments

* Add more documentation

* Add more docs
