/createRoom's creation_content should be validated against the event schema, and rejected if invalid

[turt2live]

Description

When creating a room via /createRoom, creation_content can be specified to append information to the m.room.create event in the room. For known fields like predecessor, it can be important that the correct value type is used, otherwise there may be issues downstream.

Synapse should validate the fields it knows about, and continue to accept unknown fields verbatim.

Steps to reproduce

• Create a room with predecessor: "some string" instead of predecessor: { object required by spec }
