Implement contact list for Matrix contacts like Roster in XMPP Jabber #341

At now Riot track only Rooms in left sidebar. Even in People category there are also rooms, but with 2 persons, this is not direct contact to user.

So there are no way for users to manage classic contact list, like Roster in XMPP Jabber, User list in ICQ, Android contacts list, etc.

Without contact list it's too hard to find specific user contact when inviting it to room, or when you want to start new direct chat - I must remember it's email or Matrix ID for find him.

Also very often I rename users in contact list to my name, for easily finding. For example, user can fill in name only nickname "Fox" that not so unique, and I rename it to "Alexey Fox Ivanov (friend of Sergey Petrov)" to remember who is it.

So will be good to implement Matrix private user contact list (something like Jabber roster), for manage private Matrix contacts list (not rooms) in separate Riot tab, and shows items from contact list in "Start a chat" and "Invite new room members" windows.
