Implement rejected events (#1426)
* WIP Event rejection

* Still send back errors for rejected events

Instead, discard them at the federationapi /send layer rather than
re-implementing checks at the clientapi/PerformJoin layer.

* Implement rejected events

Critically, rejected events CAN cause state resolution to happen
as it can merge forks in the DAG. This is fine, _provided_ we
do not add the rejected event when performing state resolution,
which is what this PR does. It also fixes the error handling
when NotAllowed happens, as we were checking too early and needlessly
handling NotAllowed in more than one place.

* Update test to match reality

* Modify InputRoomEvents to no longer return an error

Errors do not serialise across HTTP boundaries in polylith mode,
so instead set fields on the InputRoomEventsResponse. Add `Err()`
function to make the API shape basically the same.

* Remove redundant returns; linting

* Update blacklist

RoomServer

RoomServer Internals

Numeric IDs

To save space matrix string identifiers are mapped to local numeric IDs. The numeric IDs are more efficient to manipulate and use less space to store. The numeric IDs are never exposed in the API the room server exposes. The numeric IDs are converted to string IDs before they leave the room server. The numeric ID for a string ID is never 0 to avoid being confused with go's default zero value. Zero is used to indicate that there was no corresponding string ID. Well-known event types and event state keys are preassigned numeric IDs.

State Snapshot Storage

The room server stores the state of the matrix room at each event. For efficiency the state is stored as blocks of 3-tuples of numeric IDs for the event type, event state key and event ID. For further efficiency the state snapshots are stored as the combination of up to 64 these blocks. This allows blocks of the room state to be reused in multiple snapshots.

The resulting database tables look something like this:
