Return stripped m.space.child events via the space summary. (#10760)

The full event content cannot be trusted from this API (as no auth
chain, etc.) is processed over federation. Returning the full event
content was a bug as MSC2946 specifies that only the stripped
state should be returned.

This also avoids calculating aggregations / annotations which go
unused.
