Refactoring and cleanups

A few non-functional changes:

* A bunch of docstrings to document types
* Split `EventsStore._persist_events_txn` up a bit. Hopefully it's a bit more
  readable.
* Rephrase `EventFederationStore._update_min_depth_for_room_txn` to avoid
  mind-bending conditional.
* Rephrase rejected/outlier conditional in `_update_outliers_txn` to avoid
  mind-bending conditional.
