Implement MSC3389 to protect relations from redaction. (#15565)

MSC3389 proposes protecting the relation type & parent event ID
from redaction. This keeps the relation information intact after
redaction which helps with some UX flaws (e.g. deleting an
event causes it to no longer be in a thread, which is confusing).
