This change replaces the "relative priority" system for filters with a kind model. The kind is used to differentiate and optimize when/where a filter condition is applied, resulting in a more stable ordering of the room list. The included documentation describes what this means in detail.
This also introduces a way to inhibit updates being emitted from the Algorithm class given what we're doing to the poor thing will cause it to do a bunch of recalculation. Inhibiting the update and implicitly applying it (as part of our updateFn.mark()/trigger steps) results in much better performance.
This has been tested on my own account with both communities and spaces of varying complexity: it feels faster, though the measurements appear to be within an error tolerance of each other (read: there's no performance impact of this).

This isn't exactly perfect as an implementation: if the user refreshes immediately after forgetting then there is a good chance the room re-appears because of the sync accumulator. At the very least this change makes it so in *most* cases the room goes away, which is probably good enough until https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/14038 can be implemented properly.
Does a thirdparty protocol lookup to the homeserver to get the
corresponding native/virtual user for a matrix ID. Stores the
mappings in room account data. Involves some slightly nasty workarounds
for that fact that room account data has no local echo.
The accompanying element-web PR with the config documentation should
explain what this is & why. Internally, this breaks the assumption
that call.roomId is the room that the call appears in for the user.
call.roomId may now be a 'virtual' room while the react SDK actually
displays it in a different room. React SDK always stores the calls
under the user-facing rooms, and provides a function to get the
user-facing room for a given call.

This was surprisingly easy given the number of errors I remember last time, but here it is. This also includes an over-engineered VisibilityProvider with the intention that it'll get used in the future for things like Spaces and other X as Rooms stuff.

When we're filtering the sticky room will be excluded from the filtered set, and thus won't even appear in the `getOrderedRoomsWithoutSticky()` result. Further, we will likely have to update the position ourselves to ensure the sticky room can be placed appropriately in the list.

This is in two parts itself: The `RoomSublist` needs to break its references to the `RoomListStore`, so it now clones the room arrays. The `Algorithm` is the other part, which is slightly more complicated.
It turns out that we weren't handling splicing as a change in the `ImportanceAlgorithm`, therefore the `Algorithm` wasn't really feeling like it needed to change anything. Further, the `Algorithm` was using the wrong reference to where it should be dumping rooms (`this.cachedRooms` is a getter which returns a different object depending on conditions), so having fixed that we need to ensure that the filtered and sticky maps are also updated when we remove a room. Because we send the new tag through a Timeline update, we'll end up updating the tag later on and don't need to update the filter and sticky collections.
This reduces the update cost of rooms changing, and fixes a bug where when a sublist became filtered it would change the notification count of the sublist.
This does change the expected usage of the state store to ensuring that only one place updates the rooms on the list states, which is currently the room list store. Ideally the state store could listen to the room list store to update itself, however due to a complicated require() loop it is not possible.
In 9969b01c5f we stopped updating the sublist whenever we felt like it, which indirectly froze message previews for room tiles (badges, unread state, etc were unaffected because that is managed by a different store). To fix this, we simply have to listen for changes and perform an update.
