Fixes: #14683
This PR aims to fix the edge case where a user has multiple membership events for a single room in a single sync period, and ends up receiving both down /sync. This confuses the client, as they don't know which membership event is the latest - only the server does.
Thus we exclude "older" membership events from /sync, where ordering is defined by events' "stream_ordering". Now clients will only get one membership event per room per sync - the latest.
