Find users Widget API function

[skolmer]

Is your suggestion related to a problem? Please describe.

We want to search for users from within a widget.

Describe the solution you'd like

The widget API should allow a widget to search for users and return a result containing username, display-name and picture of the users.

@skolmer does this mean searching within the current room or across the entire homeserver?

@turt2live Our use-case is to list and find users within the room of the widget.

So I've proposed this as matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2876 as it allows one to grab all the m.room.member events in a room instead of us having a dedicated action for searching/finding users.
