Clarify how to handle key sharing wrt history visibility for invites #2419

Description

Link to problem area:
https://spec.matrix.org/latest/client-server-api/#end-to-end-encryption

Issue
While history key sharing is now specified for history visibility including changes between "shareable" and not invite/join visibilities, the spec is missing clarity that when a user is invited to a room, their devices SHOULD(?) be considered a member of the megolm group from that point onward.

Element introduced this behavior in matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk#666.

Having discussed with @richvdh, I will propose a clarification PR for this.
