Store state groups separately from events (#2784)

* Split state group persist into seperate storage func

* Add per database engine code for state group id gen

* Move store_state_group to StateReadStore

This allows other workers to use it, and so resolve state.

* Hook up store_state_group

* Fix tests

* Rename _store_mult_state_groups_txn

* Rename StateGroupReadStore

* Remove redundant _have_persisted_state_group_txn

* Update comments

* Comment compute_event_context

* Set start val for state_group_id_seq

... otherwise we try to recreate old state groups

* Update comments

* Don't store state for outliers

* Update comment

* Update docstring as state groups are ints
