This is a bit of a hack, as `_check_sigs_and_hash_and_fetch` is intended
for attempting to pull an event from the database/(re)pull it from the
server that originally sent the event if checking the signature of the
event fails.
During backfill we *know* that we won't have the event in our database,
however it is still useful to be able to query the original sending
server as the server we're backfilling from may be acting maliciously.
The main benefit and reason for this change however is that
`_check_sigs_and_hash_and_fetch` will drop an event during backfill if
it cannot be successfully validated, whereas the current code will
simply fail the backfill request - resulting in the client's /messages
request silently being dropped.
This is a quick patch to fix backfilling rooms that contain malformed
events. A better implementation in planned in future.

Instead of just using the most recent extremities let's pick the
ones that will give us results that the pagination request cares about,
i.e. pick extremities only if they have a smaller depth than the
pagination token.
This is useful when we fail to backfill an extremity, as we no longer
get stuck requesting that same extremity repeatedly.

c.f. #8295 for rationale

Dendrite's implementing MSC2753 over at https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/pull/1370 to prove the implementation for MSC purposes, and so sytest has sprouted tests for it over at https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest/p |
