There are a number of instances where a server or admin may puppet a
user to join/leave rooms, which we don't want to fail if the user has
not consented to the privacy policy. We fix this by adding a check to
test if the requester has an associated access_token, which is used as a
proxy to answer the question of whether the action is being done on
behalf of a real request from the user.
We keep track of what stream IDs we've seen so that we know what updates
we've handled or missed. If we re-sync we don't know if the updates
we've seen are included in the re-sync (there may be a race), so we
should reset the seen updates.

Remove a call to run_as_background_process: there is no need to run this as a
background process, because build_and_send_edu does not block.
We may as well inline the whole of _push_remotes.
When filtering events to send to server we check more than just history
visibility. However when deciding whether to backfill or not we only
care about the history visibility.
In worker mode, on the federation sender, when we receive an edu for sending
over the replication socket, it is parsed into an Edu object. There is no point
extracting the contents of it so that we can then immediately build another Edu.
