Fix verification of objects signed with old local keys (#11379)

Fixes a bug introduced in #11129: objects signed by the local server, but with
keys other than the current one, could not be successfully verified.

We need to check the key id in the signature, and track down the right key.

+Fix an issue introduced in v1.47.0 which prevented servers re-joining rooms they had previously left, if their signing keys were replaced.
