Matrix notifications could be end-to-end encrypted #305

💡 The Idea
At the moment it seems that notifications sent to Matrix are actually unencrypted. This is pretty confusing as even when room is set to be end-to-end encrypted all notification are handled as unencrypted messages and messages have this nasty warning sign next to them in Element:

2020-10-01_17-23

If I've understood correctly, this would require implementing end-to-end encryption flow to Apprises Matrix plugin. This includes acquiring keys from other devices (user clients in Matrix terminology) and then encrypting messages.

I'm not sure if there is something that could be blocking implementing this. If notifications were end-to-end encrypted it would make Matrix a superior place to receive notifications when true privacy is needed!
