Room list: mentions in low-priority rooms are not low priority for me

[andybalaam]

Steps to reproduce

1. Mark a room as low priority
2. Someone mentions you in that room
3. The room shows a green icon next to it, but remains in the Low Priority section, so I can't see it because it's scrolled off the bottom

Outcome

What did you expect?

If someone mentions me, even in a low-priority room, I want to be able to see it immediately.

Similarly, if someone invites me or mentions me, but I currently have the Favourites section expanded, I don't see it, because it appears in the Chats section.

I know I have banged on about it before, but I would like a flat list of rooms (no sections) where the most important things appear at the top. In this case, a low-priority room with a mention would be more important than e.g. an unread normal room.

What happened instead?

I didn't notice I was mentioned because it was scrolled off the bottom of the room list.

The only way I can cope with this is by only ever having the "Unreads" filter on. I don't think the roomlist is useable any other way (related: #14793)

Yes, and that strategy only works if you have all rooms set to notify you on all activity. See #32902 for a possible fix for that.
