Store rejected remote invite events as outliers

Currently they're stored as non-outliers even though the server isn't in
the room, which can be problematic in places where the code assumes it
has the state for all non outlier events.

In particular, there is an edge case where persisting the leave event
triggers a state resolution, which requires looking up the room version
from state. Since the server doesn't have the state, this causes an
exception to be thrown.
