This avoids pulling additional state information (and events) from
the database for each item returned in the hierarchy response.
The room type might be out of date until a background update finishes
running, the worst impact of this would be spaces being treated as rooms
in the hierarchy response. This should self-heal once the background
update finishes.
This is a re-do of 57d334a13d (#13365),
which was backed out in 12abd72497 (#13501).
The `room_id` field represented the parent space for each room
and was made redundant by changes in the API shape where the
`children_state` is now nested underneath each `room`.
The room ID of each child is in the `state_key` field and is still
available.

This field is only to be used in the Server-Server API, and not the
Client-Server API, but was being leaked when a federation response
was used in the /hierarchy API.
...and various code supporting it.
The /spaces endpoint was from an old version of MSC2946 and included
both a Client-Server and Server-Server API. Note that the unstable
/hierarchy endpoint (from the final version of MSC2946) is not yet
removed.
By returning all of the m.space.child state of the space, not just
the first 50. The number of rooms returned is still capped at 50.
For the federation API this implies that the requesting server will
need to individually query for any other rooms it is not joined to.
Fixes minor discrepancies between the /hierarchy endpoint described
in MSC2946 and the implementation.
Note that the changes impact the stable and unstable /hierarchy and
unstable /spaces endpoints for both client and federation APIs.
Adds missing type hints to methods in the synapse.handlers
module and requires all methods to have type hints there.
This also removes the unused construct_auth_difference method
from the FederationHandler.
The full event content cannot be trusted from this API (as no auth
chain, etc.) is processed over federation. Returning the full event
content was a bug as MSC2946 specifies that only the stripped
state should be returned.
This also avoids calculating aggregations / annotations which go
unused.
This updates the ordering of the returned events from the spaces
summary API to that defined in MSC2946 (which updates MSC1772).
Previously a step was skipped causing ordering to be inconsistent with
clients.
