This is #17291 (which got reverted), with some added fixups, and change
so that tests actually pick up the error.
The problem was that we were not calculating any new chain IDs due to a
missing `not` in a condition.
This reverts commit bdf82efea5 (#17291)
This seems to have stopped persisting auth chains for new events, and so
is causing state res to fall back to the slow methods
We calculate the auth chain links outside of the main persist event
transaction to ensure that we do not block other event sending during
the calculation.
There are a couple of things we need to be careful of here:
1. The current python code does no validation when loading from the DB,
so we need to be careful to ignore such errors (at least on jki.re there
are some old events with internal metadata fields of the wrong type).
2. We want to be memory efficient, as we often have many hundreds of
thousands of events in the cache at a time.

If we don't have all the auth events in a room then not all state events will have a chain cover index. Even so, we can still use the chain cover index on the events that do have it, rather than bailing and using the slower functions.
This situation should not arise for newly persisted rooms, as we check we have the full auth chain for each event, but can happen for existing rooms.

Previously, we would spin in a tight loop until
`update_state_for_partial_state_event` stopped raising
`FederationPullAttemptBackoffError`s. Replace the spinloop with a wait
until the backoff period has expired.

While https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/13635 stops us from doing the slow thing after we've already done it once, this PR stops us from doing one of the slow things in the first place.

Follow-up to https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/13815 which tracks event signature failures.
With this PR, we avoid the call to the costly `_get_state_ids_after_missing_prev_event` because the signature failure will count as an attempt before and we filter events based on the backoff before calling `_get_state_ids_after_missing_prev_event` now.
For example, this will save us 156s out of the 185s total that this `matrix.org` `/messages` request. If you want to see the full Jaeger trace of this, you can drag and drop this `trace.json` into your own Jaeger, https://gist.github.com/MadLittleMods/4b12d0d0afe88c2f65ffcc907306b761
To explain this exact scenario around `/messages` -> backfill, we call `/backfill` and first check the signatures of the 100 events. We see bad signature for `$luA4l7QHhf_jadH3mI-AyFqho0U2Q-IXXUbGSMq6h6M` and `$zuOn2Rd2vsC7SUia3Hp3r6JSkSFKcc5j3QTTqW_0jDw` (both member events). Then we process the 98 events remaining that have valid signatures but one of the events references `$luA4l7QHhf_jadH3mI-AyFqho0U2Q-IXXUbGSMq6h6M` as a `prev_event`. So we have to do the whole `_get_state_ids_after_missing_prev_event` rigmarole which pulls in those same events which fail again because the signatures are still invalid.

- `outgoing-federation-request` `/state_ids`

There is no need to grab thousands of backfill points when we only need 5 to make the `/backfill` request with. We need to grab a few extra in case the first few aren't visible in the history.
Previously, we grabbed thousands of backfill points from the database, then sorted and filtered them in the app. Fetching the 4.6k backfill points for `#matrix:matrix.org` from the database takes ~50ms - ~570ms so it's not like this saves a lot of time 🤷. But it might save us more time now that `get_backfill_points_in_room`/`get_insertion_event_backward_extremities_in_room` are more complicated after https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/13635
This PR moves the filtering and limiting to the SQL query so we just have less data to work with in the first place.

* Make `get_auth_chain_ids` return a Set
It has a set internally, and a set is often useful where it gets used, so let's
avoid converting to an intermediate list.
* Minor refactors in `on_send_join_request`
A little bit of non-functional groundwork
* Implement MSC3706: partial state in /send_join response

We do state res with unpersisted events when calculating the new current state of the room, so that should be the only thing impacted. I don't think this is tooooo big of a deal as:
1. the next time a state event happens in the room the current state should correct itself;
2. in the common case all the unpersisted events' auth events will be pulled in by other state, so will still return the correct result (or one which is sufficiently close to not affect the result); and
3. we mostly use the state at an event to do important operations, which isn't affected by this.
It was originally implemented by pulling the full auth chain of all
state sets out of the database and doing set comparison. However, that
can take a lot work if the state and auth chains are large.
Instead, lets try and fetch the auth chains at the same time and
calculate the difference on the fly, allowing us to bail early if all
the auth chains converge. Assuming that the auth chains do converge more
often than not, this should improve performance. Hopefully.
In most cases, we limit the number of prev_events for a given event to 10
events. This fixes a particular code path which created events with huge
numbers of prev_events.
