Added clickable links to the Matrix messaging rooms
Until now, we had only put the names of the Maneage chat rooms. To guide new users on how to view those chat rooms (without necessarily logging-in), we had only described the steps they need to take! With this commit, a direct link to an element-based message room viewer has been added under each name, so people can simply click on it and see the latest discussions in that room. This URL solution was found by Pedram Ashofte Ardakani.
