[Contact picker] Look for an actual account in case of email address #6497
Description
Your use case
When I open the contact picker to start a new DM, and type an email address, Element-iOS doesn't check whether an actual account is discoverable for this email
Element-Android triggers a lookup request to replace this email address with a potential actual account
There is multiple advantages to discover user on email here:
- the end user has the confirmation their contact has a matrix account
- we work on a new flow to create DM only on the first message Create DM room only on first message #5864, select a matrix id is more powerful than an email in this case
- prevent the application from creating a new DM whereas one is already created for this user
