Option to stop sending read receipts to other users

For bonus points, configurable per room. cf: #2526

Can someone point me to where I disable read receipts in the code of riot-web until there's a proper UI setting for it?

Sure - the bluntest way to do it would be to have sendReadReceipt at https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk/blob/master/src/components/structures/TimelinePanel.js#L464 immediately return.

Doing that recommendation ends up leaving some wonderfully stuck notifications. Is that an acceptable side effect? or is some other approach desirable for the checkbox?

Ftr: this is the commit that I ended up implementing, which has the potentially-buggy behaviour: turt2live/matrix-react-sdk@1bdae49
