MSC2836: Threading - part one (#1589)
* Add mscs/hooks package, begin work for msc2836

* Flesh out hooks and add SQL schema

* Begin implementing core msc2836 logic

* Add test harness

* Linting

* Implement visibility checks; stub out APIs for tests

* Flesh out testing

* Flesh out walkThread a bit

* Persist the origin_server_ts as well

* Edges table instead of relationships

* Add nodes table for event metadata

* LEFT JOIN to extract origin_server_ts for children

* Add graph walking structs

* Implement walking algorithm

* Add more graph walking tests

* Add auto_join for local rooms

* Fix create table syntax on postgres

* Add relationship_room_id|servers to the unsigned section of events

* Persist the parent room_id/servers in edge metadata

Other events cannot assert the true room_id/servers for the
parent event, only make claims to them, hence why this is
edge metadata.

* guts to pass through room_id/servers

* Refactor msc2836 to allow handling from federation

* Add JoinedVia to PerformJoin responses

* Fix tests; review comments

RoomServer

RoomServer Internals

Numeric IDs

To save space matrix string identifiers are mapped to local numeric IDs. The numeric IDs are more efficient to manipulate and use less space to store. The numeric IDs are never exposed in the API the room server exposes. The numeric IDs are converted to string IDs before they leave the room server. The numeric ID for a string ID is never 0 to avoid being confused with go's default zero value. Zero is used to indicate that there was no corresponding string ID. Well-known event types and event state keys are preassigned numeric IDs.

State Snapshot Storage

The room server stores the state of the matrix room at each event. For efficiency the state is stored as blocks of 3-tuples of numeric IDs for the event type, event state key and event ID. For further efficiency the state snapshots are stored as the combination of up to 64 these blocks. This allows blocks of the room state to be reused in multiple snapshots.

The resulting database tables look something like this:
