This became a problem because #foundation-office:matrix.org has a
malformed create event with its `predecessor` set to a string instead of
a map.
The solution to this is, unfortunately, to do more shotgun parsing to
extract only the desired fields rather than trying to parse the entire
content every time. To prevent this kind of problem from happening
again, `RoomCreateEventContent` must only be used for creating new PDUs,
existing PDUs must be shotgun-parsed.
This gets rid of 3 instances of re-parsing the room version.
There's one place where we need the event ID of the room create event to
verify federation responses, so now we just look up the event ID at that
point instead.
Fixes a set of bugs introduced by 00b77144c1,
where we replaced explicit `RoomVersionId` matches with `version < V11`
comparisons. The `Ord` impl on `RoomVersionId` does not work like that,
and is in fact a lexicographic string comparison[1]. The most visible
effect of these bugs is that incoming redaction events would sometimes
be ignored.
Instead of reverting to the explicit matches, which were quite verbose,
I implemented a `RoomVersion` struct that has flags for each property
that we care about. This is similar to the approach used by ruma[2] and
synapse[3].

This method did _a lot_ of things at the same time. In order to use
`KeyValueDatabase` for the migrate-db command, we need to be able to
open a db without attempting to apply all the migrations and without
spawning a bunch of unrelated background tasks.
The state after this refactor is still not great, but it's enough to do
a migration tool.
Errors will show up in the logs in this case with detailed information
about what broke.
In the future we should add some kind of database integrity check
functionality and also functionality to repair/delete broken data, but
for now this at least makes it work 99.99% of the time.
File data is inserted into the database before being created on disk,
which means that it's possible for data to exist in the database that
doesn't exist on disk. In this case, the media deletion functions should
simply ignore this error.
