It isn't really clear that the deadlines actually help in any way. Currently we can use up our 2 minutes doing something, run out of context time and then return an error which causes the transaction to rollback and forgetting everything we've done. If the message came to us from NATS then we probably will end up retrying just to be in the same situation. We'd be really a lot better if we just spent the time reconciling the problem in the first place, and then we're much less likely to need to fetch those missing auth or prev events in the future.
Also includes matrix-org/gomatrixserverlib#287 so we don't wait so long for servers that are obviously dead.

* Handle cases where the room does not exist
* Other fixes
* More tweaks
* Fill some gaps
* Fill in the gaps
* good lord it gets worse
* Don't roll back transactions when events rejected
* Pass through errors properly
* Fix bugs
* Fix incorrect error check
* Don't panic on nil txns
* Tweaks
* Hopefully fix panics for good in SQLite this time
* Fix rollback
* Minor bug fixes with latest event updater
* Some review comments
* Revert "Some review comments"
This reverts commit 0caf8cf53e.
* Fix a couple of bugs
* Clearer commit and rollback results
* Remove unnecessary prepares
* Improve server selection somewhat
* Remove things from the map when we're done
* Be less panicky about auth event signatures in case they are not fatal after all
* Accept HasState in all cases
* Send join asynchronously
* Revert "Send join asynchronously"
This reverts commit 5b685bfcd0.
* Joins and leaves use background context
* Put federation client functions into their own file
* Look for missing auth events in RS input
* Remove retrieveMissingAuthEvents from federation API
* Logging
* Sorta transplanted the code over
* Use event origin failing all else
* Don't get stuck on mutexes:
* Add verifier
* Don't mark state events with zero snapshot NID as not existing
* Check missing state if not an outlier before storing the event
* Reject instead of soft-fail, don't copy roominfo so much
* Use synchronous contexts, limit time to fetch missing events
* Clean up some commented out bits
* Simplify `/send` endpoint significantly
* Submit async
* Report errors on sending to RS input
* Set max payload in NATS to 16MB
* Tweak metrics
* Add `workerForRoom` for tidiness
* Try skipping unmarshalling errors for RespMissingEvents
* Track missing prev events separately to avoid calculating state when not possible
* Tweak logic around checking missing state
* Care about state when checking missing prev events
* Don't check missing state for create events
* Try that again
* Handle create events better
* Send create room events as new
* Use given event kind when sending auth/state events
* Revert "Use given event kind when sending auth/state events"
This reverts commit 089d64d271.
* Only search for missing prev events or state for new events
* Tweaks
* We only have missing prev if we don't supply state
* Room version tweaks
* Allow async inputs again
* Apply backpressure to consumers/synchronous requests to hopefully stop things being overwhelmed
* Set timeouts on roomserver input tasks (need to decide what timeout makes sense)
* Use work queue policy, deliver all on restart
* Reduce chance of duplicates being sent by NATS
* Limit the number of servers we attempt to reduce backpressure
* Some review comment fixes
* Tidy up a couple things
* Don't limit servers, randomise order using map
* Some context refactoring
* Update gmsl
* Don't resend create events
* Set stateIDs length correctly or else the roomserver thinks there are missing events when there aren't
* Exclude our own servername
* Try backing off servers
* Make excluding self behaviour optional
* Exclude self from g_m_e
* Update sytest-whitelist
* Update consumers for the roomserver output stream
* Remember to send outliers for state returned from /gme
* Make full HTTP tests less upsetti
* Remove 'If a device list update goes missing, the server resyncs on the next one' from the sytest blacklist
* Remove debugging test
* Fix blacklist again, remove unnecessary duplicate context
* Clearer contexts, don't use background in case there's something happening there
* Don't queue up events more than once in memory
* Correctly identify create events when checking for state
* Fill in gaps again in /gme code
* Remove `AuthEventIDs` from `InputRoomEvent`
* Remove stray field
