The Matrix CS API, and synapse now supports setting the actions for default rules. Doing that makes managing the rules much simpler from a vector persepctive since the ON/LOUD/OFF toggle buttons can be implemented by setting the actions and enabling/disabling the default rules rather than overidding them. Overriding the default rules was difficult because it was not possible to intermingle the evaluation of user-specified rules with the default rules. So even though you could add a rule with the same conditions as a default rule, it would evaluate before *all* the other default rules. Also creating new rules under a im.vector namespace creates challenges if we want vector to cooperate with other matrix clients that want to provide a similar set of toggle switches for the push rules.

I've added some code for when vector downloads the push rules to migrate from the "im.vector" rules to setting the actions for the default ".m.*" rules. |

This is this function: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk/blob/develop/lib/pushprocessor.js#L227
We should probably think about exposing it in the js sdk rather than duplicating the code.

Hmm, I'm not sure if they are exactly the same function since this gives up if it doesn't understand the tweaks, or actions.
But I agree that we should think about moving some of this code into the SDK so that other client authors don't need to duplicate it.
