Increase DB/CPU perf of `_is_server_still_joined` check. (#6936)

* Increase DB/CPU perf of `_is_server_still_joined` check.

For rooms with large amount of state a single user leaving could cause
us to go and load a lot of membership events and then pull out
membership state in a large number of batches.

* Newsfile

* Update synapse/storage/persist_events.py

* Fix adding if too soon

* Update docstring

* Review comments

* Woops typo
