Exclude OOB memberships from the federation sender (#12570)

As the comment says, there is no need to process such events, and indeed we
need to avoid doing so.

Fixes #12509.

"""Whether this event is an out-of-band membership.
OOB memberships are a special case of outlier events: they are membership events
for federated rooms that we aren't full members. Examples include invites
received over federation, and rejections for such invites.
The concept of an OOB membership is needed because these events need to be
processed as if they're new regular events (e.g. updating membership state in
the database, relaying to clients via /sync, etc) despite being outliers.
See also https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/development/room-dag-concepts.html#out-of-band-membership-events.
(Added in synapse 0.99.0, so may be unreliable for events received before that)

# (2) rejections of invites to federated rooms - either remotely

# responsible for sending out the rejection. If that fails,

# information to send it out over federation).
