Public

I just wrote up some docs on how to hide images in public rooms on Matrix in several clients.

https://matrix.org/docs/chat_basics/public-rooms/#hiding-images-by-default

If anyone was able to add info for more clients that would be awesome. Here's my change for reference: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix.org/pull/2971
