.Fn MatrixUserInteractiveAuth
executes the user interactive authentication flow. A number of Matrix
client API requests require this flow, so this function provides a
convenient abstraction. Currently, it only implements a single-stage
"m.login.dummy" auth, so it's more of a formality than anything else,
but in the future, this function may support more authentication
flows.
.Sh RETURN VALUES

.Fn MatrixErrorCreate
returns a JSON object that represents the given error code. It can be
immediately returned as the HTTP response body, or modified as needed.
.Pp
.Fn MatrixUserInteractiveAuth
returns NULL when the auth is successful. That is, if it returns NULL,
then the caller can proceed assuming that the client has done all the
right things to authenticate itself. If this function does not return
NULL, then the returned JSON object should be passed along to the
client immediately without continuing.

Improved HTTP request logging by removing unnecessary
log entries and making errors more specific.
Added a basic form of the user interactive authentication API,
which can be used by any endpoints that the spec says require
it. Currently, it only implements a single dummy login flow,
so it's more of a fomality than anything else, but more login
flows can easily be added in the future.

Added a way to safely delete objects from the database.
