Move some event auth checks out to a different method (#13065)

* Add auth events to events used in tests

* Move some event auth checks out to a different method

Some of the event auth checks apply to an event's auth_events, rather than the
state at the event - which means they can play no part in state
resolution. Move them out to a separate method.

* Rename check_auth_rules_for_event

Now it only checks the state-dependent auth rules, it needs a better name.
