This also happens for rejecting an invite. Basically, any out-of-band membership transition where we first get the membership as an `outlier` and then rely on federation filling us in to de-outlier it.
This PR mainly addresses automated test flakiness, bots/scripts, and options within Synapse like [`auto_accept_invites`](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/v1.122/usage/configuration/config_documentation.html#auto_accept_invites) that are able to react quickly (before federation is able to push us events), but also helps in generic scenarios where federation is lagging.
I initially thought this might be a Synapse consistency issue (see issues labeled with [`Z-Read-After-Write`](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/labels/Z-Read-After-Write)) but it seems to be an event auth logic problem. Workers probably do increase the number of possible race condition scenarios that make this visible though (replication and cache invalidation lag).

Problems:
1. We don't consider [out-of-band membership](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/blob/develop/docs/development/room-dag-concepts.md#out-of-band-membership-events) (outliers) in our `event_auth` logic even though we expose them in `/sync`.
1. (This PR doesn't address this point) Perhaps we should consider authing events in the persistence queue as events already in the queue could allow subsequent events to be allowed (events come through many channels: federation transaction, remote invite, remote join, local send). But this doesn't save us in the case where the event is more delayed over federation.
### What happened before?
I wrote some Complement test that stresses this exact scenario and reproduces the problem: https://github.com/matrix-org/complement/pull/757

```
We have `hs1` and `hs2` running in monolith mode (no workers):
1. `@charlie1:hs2` is invited and joins the room:
1. `hs1` invites `@charlie1:hs2` to a room which we receive on `hs2` as `PUT /_matrix/federation/v1/invite/{roomId}/{eventId}` (`on_invite_request(...)`) and the invite membership is persisted as an outlier. The `room_memberships` and `local_current_membership` database tables are also updated which means they are visible down `/sync` at this point.
1. `@charlie1:hs2` decides to join because it saw the invite down `/sync`. Because `hs2` is not yet in the room, this happens as a remote join `make_join`/`send_join` which comes back with all of the auth events needed to auth successfully and now `@charlie1:hs2` is successfully joined to the room.
1. `@charlie2:hs2` is invited and and tries to join the room:
1. `hs1` invites `@charlie2:hs2` to the room which we receive on `hs2` as `PUT /_matrix/federation/v1/invite/{roomId}/{eventId}` (`on_invite_request(...)`) and the invite membership is persisted as an outlier. The `room_memberships` and `local_current_membership` database tables are also updated which means they are visible down `/sync` at this point.
1. Because `hs2` is already participating in the room, we also see the invite come over federation in a transaction and we start processing it (not done yet, see below)
1. `@charlie2:hs2` decides to join because it saw the invite down `/sync`. Because `hs2`, is already in the room, this happens as a local join but we deny the event because our `event_auth` logic thinks that we have no membership in the room ❌ (expected to be able to join because we saw the invite down `/sync`)
1. We finally finish processing the `@charlie2:hs2` invite event from and de-outlier it.
- If this finished before we tried to join we would have been fine but this is the race condition that makes this situation visible.

Fixes https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17117.
The general principle is just to make sure that we propagate any
exceptions to the JsonResource, so that we return an error code to the
sending server. That means that the sending server no longer considers
the message safely sent, so it will retry later.
In the issue, Erik mentions that an alternative solution would be to
persist the to-device messages into a table so that they can be retried.
This might be an improvement for performance, but even if we did that,
we still need this mechanism, since we might be unable to reach the
database. So, if we want to do that, it can be a later follow-up.

Serving partial join responses is no longer experimental. They will only be served under the stable identifier if the the undocumented config flag experimental.msc3706_enabled is set to true.
Synapse continues to request a partial join only if the undocumented config flag experimental.faster_joins is set to true; this setting remains present and unaffected.
* Use new query param when requesting a partial join
* Read new query param when serving partial join
* Provide new field names when serving partial joins
* Read new field names from partial join response

MSC2314 has now been closed, so we're backing out its implementation, which
originally happened in #6176.
Unfortunately it's not a direct revert, as that PR mixed in a bunch of
unrelated changes to tests etc.
* 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
If we prepopulate the test homeserver with a key for a remote homeserver, we
can make federation requests to it without having to stub out the
authenticator. This has two advantages:
* means that what we are testing is closer to reality (ie, we now have
complete tests for the incoming-request-authorisation flow)
* some tests require that other objects be signed by the remote server (eg,
the event in `/send_join`), and doing that would require a whole separate
set of mocking out. It's much simpler just to use real keys.
* tests for push rule pattern matching
* tests for acl pattern matching
* factor out common `re.escape`
* Factor out common re.compile
* Factor out common anchoring code
* add word_boundary support to `glob_to_regex`
* Use `glob_to_regex` in push rule evaluator
NB that this drops support for character classes. I don't think anyone ever
used them.
* Improve efficiency of globs with multiple wildcards
The idea here is that we compress multiple `*` globs into a single `.*`. We
also need to consider `?`, since `*?*` is as hard to implement efficiently as
`**`.
* add assertion on regex pattern
* Fix mypy
* Simplify glob_to_regex
* Inline the glob_to_regex helper function
