  1. Simplify password requirements 

    A strong password is not necessary complex (https://xkcd.com/936/). Having arbitrary password requirements is a bit of a pain - we should rather push for 2FA / passwordless auth. 

I don't think this is a breaking change as it only change a "SHOULD" sentence. Any mismatch between clients / servers should still be 'spec complient' within the old text.

ECP = Enforce Complex Password
Client ECP - Server ECP: ✅
Client ECP - Server not-ECP: ✅
Client not-ECP - Server not-ECP: ✅
Client not-ECP - Server ECP: Potentially `M_WEAK_PASSWORD` which the client should already be able to handle.

This change will probably make it easier to implement [MSC2000](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2000)
