Resolve and share `state_groups` for all historical events in batch (MSC2716) (#10975)

Resolve and share `state_groups` for all historical events in batch.  This also helps for showing the appropriate avatar/displayname in Element and will work whenever `/messages` has one of the historical messages as the first message in the batch.

This does have the flaw where if you just insert a single historical event somewhere, it probably won't resolve the state correctly from `/messages` or `/context` since it will grab a non historical event above or below with resolved state which never included the historical state back then. For the same reasions, this also does not work in Element between the transition from actual messages to historical messages. In the Gitter case, this isn't really a problem since all of the historical messages are in one big lump at the beginning of the room.

For a future iteration, might be good to look at `/messages` and `/context` to additionally add the `state` for any historical messages in that batch.

---

How are the `state_groups` shared? To illustrate the `state_group` sharing, see this example:


**Before** (new `state_group` for every event 😬, very inefficient):
```

create_new_client_event org.matrix.msc2716.batch event=$Oy_S7AWN7rJQe_MYwGPEy6RtbYklrI-tAhmfiLrCaKI state_group=14
```

**After** (all events in batch sharing `state_group=10`) (the base insertion event has `state_group=8` which matches the `prev_event` we're inserting next to):
