Bugfixes
--------

- Fix a long-standing bug which caused the `/_matrix/federation/v1/state` and `/_matrix/federation/v1/state_ids` endpoints to return incorrect or invalid data when called for an event which we have stored as an "outlier". ([\#12087](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12087))

- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.53.0 where an unnecessary query could be performed when fetching bundled aggregations for threads. ([\#12228](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12228))
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.52.0 where admins could not deactivate and GDPR-erase a user if Synapse was configured with limits on avatars. ([\#12261](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12261))
