Create chat room

POST/chat-rooms

Create a chat room. With two members (including yourself) it becomes a DIRECT room, otherwise a GROUP room. For DIRECT rooms an existing room is returned if one already exists. initialMessage is optional; passing it also creates the first message. A system message recording the creation is always added to a newly created room, whether or not initialMessage is given (not when an existing DIRECT room is returned).
