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.

This stores all device list updates that we receive while partial joins are ongoing, and processes them once we have the full state.
Note: We don't actually process the device lists in the same ways as if we weren't partially joined. Instead of updating the device list remote cache, we simply notify local users that a change in the remote user's devices has happened. I think this is safe as if the local user requests the keys for the remote user and we don't have them we'll simply fetch them as normal.

> Discovered while trying to make Synapse fast enough for [this MSC2716 test for importing many batches](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement/pull/214#discussion_r741678240). As an example, disabling the `have_seen_event` cache saves 10 seconds for each `/messages` request in that MSC2716 Complement test because we're not making as many federation requests for `/state` (speeding up `have_seen_event` itself is related to https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13625)
>
> But this will also make `/messages` faster in general so we can include it in the [faster `/messages` milestone](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/milestone/11).

### The problem
`_invalidate_caches_for_event` doesn't run in monolith mode which means we never even tried to clear the `have_seen_event` and other caches. And even in worker mode, it only runs on the workers, not the master (AFAICT).
Additionally there was bug with the key being wrong so `_invalidate_caches_for_event` never invalidates the `have_seen_event` cache even when it does run.
Because we were using the `@cachedList` wrong, it was putting items in the cache under keys like `((room_id, event_id),)` with a `set` in a `set` (ex. `(('!TnCIJPKzdQdUlIyXdQ:test', '$Iu0eqEBN7qcyF1S9B3oNB3I91v2o5YOgRNPwi_78s-k'),)`) and we we're trying to invalidate with just `(room_id, event_id)` which did nothing.
This moves all the invalidations into a single place and de-duplicates
the code involved in invalidating caches for a given event by using
the base class method.
Use the provided list of servers in the room from the `/send_join`
response, since we will not know which users are in the room. This
isn't sufficient to ensure that all remote servers receive the right
device list updates, since the `/send_join` response may be inaccurate
or we may calculate the membership state of new users in the room
incorrectly.

This fixes a bug where the `/relations` API with `dir=f` would
skip the first item of each page (except the first page), causing
incomplete data to be returned to the client.
Adds a `thread_id` column to the `event_push_actions`, `event_push_actions_staging`,
and `event_push_summary` tables. This will notifications to be segmented by the thread
in a future pull request. The `thread_id` column stores the root event ID or the special
value `"main"`.
The `thread_id` column for `event_push_actions` and `event_push_summary` is
backfilled with `"main"` for all existing rows. New entries into `event_push_actions`
and `event_push_actions_staging` will get the proper thread ID.
`receipts_linearized` and `receipts_graph` also gain a `thread_id` column, which is similar,
except `NULL` is a special value meaning the receipt is "unthreaded".
See MSC3771 and MSC3773 for where this data will be useful.
Partial indices have been supported since SQLite 3.8, but Synapse
now requires >= 3.27, so we can enable support for them.
This requires rebuilding previous indices which were partial on
PostgreSQL, but not on SQLite.

Handle malformed user IDs with no colons in `get_current_hosts_in_room`.
It's not currently possible for a malformed user ID to join a room, so
this error would never be hit.

When backfilling, `_get_state_ids_after_missing_prev_event` calls [`get_metadata_for_events`](26bc26586b/synapse/handlers/federation_event.py (L1133)). For `#matrix:matrix.org`, it's called with 77k `state_events` which means 77 calls to the database and takes 28 seconds.
The method doesn't actually do any data fetching and the method that
does, `_get_joined_profile_from_event_id`, has its own cache.

Optimize how we calculate `likely_domains` during backfill because I've seen this take 17s in production just to `get_current_state` which is used to `get_domains_from_state` (see case [*2. Loading tons of events* in the `/messages` investigation issue](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13356)).
There are 3 ways we currently calculate hosts that are in the room:
1. `get_current_state` -> `get_domains_from_state`
- Used in `backfill` to calculate `likely_domains` and `/timestamp_to_event` because it was cargo-culted from `backfill`
- This one is being eliminated in favor of `get_current_hosts_in_room` in this PR 🕳
1. `get_current_hosts_in_room`
- Used for other federation things like sending read receipts and typing indicators
1. `get_hosts_in_room_at_events`
- Used when pushing out events over federation to other servers in the `_process_event_queue_loop`

### Query performance
#### Before
The query from `get_current_state` sucks just because we have to get all 80k events. And we see almost the exact same performance locally trying to get all of these events (16s vs 17s):
```
synapse=# SELECT type, state_key, event_id FROM current_state_events WHERE room_id = '!OGEhHVWSdvArJzumhm:matrix.org';
Time: 16035.612 ms (00:16.036)
synapse=# SELECT type, state_key, event_id FROM current_state_events WHERE room_id = '!OGEhHVWSdvArJzumhm:matrix.org';
Time: 4243.237 ms (00:04.243)
```
But what about `get_current_hosts_in_room`: When there is 8M rows in the `current_state_events` table, the previous query in `get_current_hosts_in_room` took 13s from complete freshness (when the events were first added). But takes 930ms after a Postgres restart or 390ms if running back to back to back.
```sh
$ psql synapse
synapse=# \timing on
synapse=# SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT substring(state_key FROM '@[^:]*:(.*)$'))
FROM current_state_events
WHERE
type = 'm.room.member'
AND membership = 'join'
AND room_id = '!OGEhHVWSdvArJzumhm:matrix.org';
count
-------
4130
(1 row)
Time: 13181.598 ms (00:13.182)
synapse=# SELECT COUNT(*) from current_state_events where room_id = '!OGEhHVWSdvArJzumhm:matrix.org';
count
-------
80814
synapse=# SELECT COUNT(*) from current_state_events;
count
---------
8162847
synapse=# SELECT pg_size_pretty( pg_total_relation_size('current_state_events') );
pg_size_pretty
----------------
4702 MB
```
#### After
I'm not sure how long it takes from complete freshness as I only really get that opportunity once (maybe restarting computer but that's cumbersome) and it's not really relevant to normal operating times. Maybe you get closer to the fresh times the more access variability there is so that Postgres caches aren't as exact. Update: The longest I've seen this run for is 6.4s and 4.5s after a computer restart.
After a Postgres restart, it takes 330ms and running back to back takes 260ms.
```sh
$ psql synapse
synapse=# \timing on
Timing is on.
synapse=# SELECT
substring(c.state_key FROM '@[^:]*:(.*)$') as host
FROM current_state_events c
/* Get the depth of the event from the events table */
INNER JOIN events AS e USING (event_id)
WHERE
c.type = 'm.room.member'
AND c.membership = 'join'
AND c.room_id = '!OGEhHVWSdvArJzumhm:matrix.org'
GROUP BY host
ORDER BY min(e.depth) ASC;
Time: 333.800 ms
```
#### Going further
To improve things further we could add a `limit` parameter to `get_current_hosts_in_room`. Realistically, we don't need 4k domains to choose from because there is no way we're going to query that many before we a) probably get an answer or b) we give up.
Another thing we can do is optimize the query to use a index skip scan:

- Index Skip Scan, https://commitfest.postgresql.org/37/1741/
