Kegan DougalandEric Eastwood 54c0a78f76 MSC4242: State DAGs (serving) (#20133)
Adds the serving functions needed for MSC4242: State DAGs. This PR adds
MSC4242 support to /make_join, /send_join and /get_missing_events, as
well as calculates the destinations for /send events correctly using
`prev_state_events`.

Built on top of https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/19718 for the
storage functions it makes.

Split out from https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/19425

Part of a series of 5x PRs to land the federation part of
[MSC4242](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4242)
([storage](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/19718),
[fedclient](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/20127), serving
(this PR), inbound-joins, inbound-pulls).

Whilst this is mostly a port of the code in #19425 there are a few
changes:
- `/get_missing_events` accepts message events when walking the state
DAG, in which case it resolves the first hop to be that event's
`prev_state_events`. The original PR made the client `/event` the
message event and then set `latest=[prev_state_events]` on its own. This
is not very efficient (extra round trip to fetch the event) and there's
no reason why the server can't do the message->prev_state_events lookup,
so we do so. This matches the MSC examples.
- We cap the amount of events fetched via `/get_missing_events`. The MSC
allows it, so it's a good safety check.
- We sort the returned state DAG in `/send_join` by depth then event ID
so it's "mostly" sorted. This is more a formality than anything else,
the MSC does not mandate this, but it makes `/send_join` responses
deterministic.
- `notify_on_event_delivered_over_federation` is a new thing since
#19425, so we include state DAG events in it like we do with
state/auth_chain.

This PR does remove the forced `m.federate: false` setting for MSC4242
rooms, so it makes it possible for federated MSC4242 rooms to be made.
This is mostly so we can test via the endpoints. Given you must opt-in
to MSC4242 via the experimental features config option, it seems
reasonable to loosen this setting. The forced no-federation flag existed
prior to review saying that the MSC4242 room version could itself be
gated behind an experimental feature.

Reviewable commit-by-commit.
