Request for API Method to Fetch All Public Server Rooms

[TrevisGordan]

Hello,

I'm currently exploring the matrix-nio library and I've encountered an issue. It seems there isn't a straightforward nio.API call or method available to fetch all public server rooms, similar to what's described in the Matrix Client-Server API spec:
GET /_matrix/client/v3/publicRooms.

Is this functionality not implemented in matrix-nio? If it's missing, could you please provide some insight into why? Additionally, if it is indeed not implemented, would you be interested in a pull request to add this feature?

Thank you for your assistance.

Thanks @TrevisGordan; I think this is an important ommission to fix; it's indeed not yet implemented. The most likely reason I can think of is that it's not in the typical "bot" usecase that most people use matrix-nio for, but that's not a reason not to implement it.

I'd definitely be happy to accept a PR that implemented this; if you see that I've self-assigned myself this in the future, it probably means I'm working on it.

Hey @PaarthShah , amazing! Thanks for just going ahead and directly implementing it!

@TrevisGordan No problem! It didn't take super long and it was a good thing to have available!
