Description

I noticed this while looking at the spec;

While creating rooms, /createRooms recommends - for a default "preset" - to use "private_chat", recommending it to look at "visibility", which defaults to "private".

However, synapse creates public_chat rooms when given no options.

I know that the spec is only saying "should" here, but since Dendrite and Conduit also display this behaviour, it could cause confusion that a "known good" server such as Synapse is going against spec here, creating bugs in software where previously there were none.
