If we send out an event which refers to `prev_events` which other servers in
the federation are missing, then (after a round or two of backfill attempts),
they will end up asking us for `/state_ids` at a particular point in the DAG.
As per https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7893, this is quite
expensive, and we tend to see lots of very similar requests around the same
time.
We can therefore handle this much more efficiently by using a cache, which (a)
ensures that if we see the same request from multiple servers (or even the same
server, multiple times), then they share the result, and (b) any other servers
that miss the initial excitement can also benefit from the work.
[It's interesting to note that `/state` has a cache for exactly this
reason. `/state` is now essentially unused and replaced with `/state_ids`, but
evidently when we replaced it we forgot to add a cache to the new endpoint.]
A lot of the things we log at INFO are now a bit superfluous, so lets
make them DEBUG logs to reduce the amount we log by default.

I messed this up a bit in #6805, but fortunately we weren't actually doing
anything with the room_version so it didn't matter that it was a str not a RoomVersion.
* Fix /federation/v1/state for recent room versions
Turns out this endpoint was completely broken for v3 rooms. Hopefully this
re-signing code is irrelevant nowadays anyway.
Another small fixup noticed during work on a larger PR. The `origin` field of `add_display_name_to_third_party_invite` is not used and likely was just carried over from the `on_PUT` method of `FederationThirdPartyInviteExchangeServlet` which, like all other servlets, provides an `origin` argument.
Since it's not used anywhere in the handler function though, we should remove it from the function arguments.
Python will return a tuple whether there are parentheses around the returned values or not.
I'm just sick of my editor complaining about this all over the place :)
If we remove support for a particular room version, we should behave more
gracefully. This should make client requests fail with a 400 rather than a 500,
and will ignore individiual PDUs in a federation transaction, rather than the
whole transaction.
We only process events sent to us from a server if the event ID matches
the server, to help guard against federation storms. We replace this
with a check against the event origin.
We currently pass FrozenEvent instead of `dict` to
`compute_event_signature`, which works by accident due to `dict(event)`
producing the correct result.
This fixes PR #4493 commit 855a151
