Optimize how we calculate `likely_domains` during backfill because I've seen this take 17s in production just to `get_current_state` which is used to `get_domains_from_state` (see case [*2. Loading tons of events* in the `/messages` investigation issue](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13356)).
There are 3 ways we currently calculate hosts that are in the room:
1. `get_current_state` -> `get_domains_from_state`
- Used in `backfill` to calculate `likely_domains` and `/timestamp_to_event` because it was cargo-culted from `backfill`
- This one is being eliminated in favor of `get_current_hosts_in_room` in this PR 🕳
1. `get_current_hosts_in_room`
- Used for other federation things like sending read receipts and typing indicators
1. `get_hosts_in_room_at_events`
- Used when pushing out events over federation to other servers in the `_process_event_queue_loop`

### Query performance
#### Before
The query from `get_current_state` sucks just because we have to get all 80k events. And we see almost the exact same performance locally trying to get all of these events (16s vs 17s):
```
synapse=# SELECT type, state_key, event_id FROM current_state_events WHERE room_id = '!OGEhHVWSdvArJzumhm:matrix.org';
Time: 16035.612 ms (00:16.036)
synapse=# SELECT type, state_key, event_id FROM current_state_events WHERE room_id = '!OGEhHVWSdvArJzumhm:matrix.org';
Time: 4243.237 ms (00:04.243)
```
But what about `get_current_hosts_in_room`: When there is 8M rows in the `current_state_events` table, the previous query in `get_current_hosts_in_room` took 13s from complete freshness (when the events were first added). But takes 930ms after a Postgres restart or 390ms if running back to back to back.
```sh
$ psql synapse
synapse=# \timing on
synapse=# SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT substring(state_key FROM '@[^:]*:(.*)$'))
FROM current_state_events
WHERE
type = 'm.room.member'
AND membership = 'join'
AND room_id = '!OGEhHVWSdvArJzumhm:matrix.org';
count
-------
4130
(1 row)
Time: 13181.598 ms (00:13.182)
synapse=# SELECT COUNT(*) from current_state_events where room_id = '!OGEhHVWSdvArJzumhm:matrix.org';
count
-------
80814
synapse=# SELECT COUNT(*) from current_state_events;
count
---------
8162847
synapse=# SELECT pg_size_pretty( pg_total_relation_size('current_state_events') );
pg_size_pretty
----------------
4702 MB
```
#### After
I'm not sure how long it takes from complete freshness as I only really get that opportunity once (maybe restarting computer but that's cumbersome) and it's not really relevant to normal operating times. Maybe you get closer to the fresh times the more access variability there is so that Postgres caches aren't as exact. Update: The longest I've seen this run for is 6.4s and 4.5s after a computer restart.
After a Postgres restart, it takes 330ms and running back to back takes 260ms.
```sh
$ psql synapse
synapse=# \timing on
Timing is on.
synapse=# SELECT
substring(c.state_key FROM '@[^:]*:(.*)$') as host
FROM current_state_events c
/* Get the depth of the event from the events table */
INNER JOIN events AS e USING (event_id)
WHERE
c.type = 'm.room.member'
AND c.membership = 'join'
AND c.room_id = '!OGEhHVWSdvArJzumhm:matrix.org'
GROUP BY host
ORDER BY min(e.depth) ASC;
Time: 333.800 ms
```
#### Going further
To improve things further we could add a `limit` parameter to `get_current_hosts_in_room`. Realistically, we don't need 4k domains to choose from because there is no way we're going to query that many before we a) probably get an answer or b) we give up.
Another thing we can do is optimize the query to use a index skip scan:
- https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Loose_indexscan
- Index Skip Scan, https://commitfest.postgresql.org/37/1741/
- https://www.timescale.com/blog/how-we-made-distinct-queries-up-to-8000x-faster-on-postgresql/
When loading current ids, sort by stream ID so that we don't want to overwrite the `current_position` of an instance to a lower stream ID than we're actually at ([discussion](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/13585#discussion_r951795379)). Previously, it sorted alphabetically by instance name which can be `null` and throw errors but more importantly, accomplishes nothing.
Fixes the following startup error which is why I started looking into this area:
```
$ poetry run synapse_homeserver --config-path homeserver.yaml
****************************************************************
Error during initialisation:
'<' not supported between instances of 'NoneType' and 'str'
There may be more information in the logs.
****************************************************************
```
Somehow my database ended up looking like the following, notice the `instance_name` is `null` in the db, and we can't sort `NoneType` things. Another question is why do we see the `instance_name` as `null` sometimes instead of `master` in monolith mode?
```
$ psql synapse
synapse=# SELECT * FROM stream_positions;
stream_name | instance_name | stream_id
-----------------+---------------+-----------
account_data | master | 1242
events | master | 1787
to_device | master | 58
presence_stream | master | 485638
receipts | master | 341
backfill | master | -139106
(6 rows)
synapse=# SELECT instance_name, stream_id FROM receipts_linearized;

Part of #13019
This changes all the permission-related methods to rely on the Requester instead of the UserID. This is a first step towards enabling scoped access tokens at some point, since I expect the Requester to have scope-related informations in it.
It also changes methods which figure out the user/device/appservice out of the access token to return a Requester instead of something else. This avoids having store-related objects in the methods signatures.
Use a state filter or accept partial state in a few places where we
request state, to avoid blocking.
To make lazy-loading `/sync`s work, we need to provide the memberships
of event senders, which are not guaranteed to be in the room state.
Instead we dig through auth events for memberships to present to
clients. The auth events of an event are guaranteed to contain a
passable membership event, otherwise the event would have been rejected.
Note that this only covers the common code paths encountered during
testing. There has been no exhaustive checking of all sync code paths.
Fixes#13146.

This improves load times for push rules:
| Version | Time per user | Time for 1k users |
| -------------------- | ------------- | ----------------- |
| Before | 138 µs | 138ms |
| Now (with custom) | 2.11 µs | 2.11ms |
| Now (without custom) | 49.7 ns | 0.05 ms |
This therefore has a large impact on send times for rooms
with large numbers of local users in the room.
This reverts commit f383b9b3ec. Other PRs
were seeing mypy failures that looked to be related to mypy-zope.
Confusingly, we didn't see this on #13521.
Revert this for now and investigate later.
* Clarifies comments.
* Fixes an erroneous comment (about return type) added in #13455
(ec24813220).
* Clarifies the name of a variable.
* Simplifies logic of pulling out the latest join for the requesting user.
This adds support for the stable identifiers of MSC2285 while
continuing to support the unstable identifiers behind the configuration
flag. These will be removed in a future version.
* Adds docstrings and inline comments.
* Formats SQL queries using triple quoted strings.
* Minor formatting changes.
* Avoid fetching `event_push_summary_stream_ordering` multiple times
in the same transactions.
Still maintains local in memory lookup optimisation, but does any external
lookup as part of the deferred that prevents duplicate lookups for the same
event at once. This makes the assumption that fetching from an external
cache is a non-zero load operation.
Previously, `_resolve_state_at_missing_prevs` returned the resolved
state before an event and a partial state flag. These were unwieldy to
carry around would only ever be used to build an event context. Build
the event context directly instead.

Avoid blocking on full state in `_resolve_state_at_missing_prevs` and
return a new flag indicating whether the resolved state is partial.
Thread that flag around so that it makes it into the event context.

See #10826 and #10786 for context as to why we had to disable pruning on
those caches.
Now that `get_users_who_share_room_with_user` is called frequently only
for presence, we just need to make calls to it less frequent and then we
can remove the various levels of caching that is going on.
Fix race conditions in the async cache invalidation logic, by separating
the async & local invalidation calls and ensuring any async call i
executed first.

More prep work for asyncronous caching, also makes all process_replication_rows methods consistent (presence handler already is so).

These columns were added back in Synapse 1.52, and have been populated for new
events since then. It's now (beyond) time to back-populate them for existing
events.
There are two fixes here:
1. A long-standing bug where we incorrectly calculated `delta_ids`; and
2. A bug introduced in #13267 where we got current state incorrect.
Some experimental prep work to enable external event caching based on #9379 & #12955. Doesn't actually move the cache at all, just lays the groundwork for async implemented caches.
