Batch cache invalidation over replication

Currently whenever the current state changes in a room invalidate a lot
of caches, which cause *a lot* of traffic over replication. Instead,
lets batch up all those invalidations and send a single poke down
the replication streams.

Hopefully this will reduce load on the master process by substantially
reducing traffic.
