This change replaces the "relative priority" system for filters with a kind model. The kind is used to differentiate and optimize when/where a filter condition is applied, resulting in a more stable ordering of the room list. The included documentation describes what this means in detail.
This also introduces a way to inhibit updates being emitted from the Algorithm class given what we're doing to the poor thing will cause it to do a bunch of recalculation. Inhibiting the update and implicitly applying it (as part of our updateFn.mark()/trigger steps) results in much better performance.
This has been tested on my own account with both communities and spaces of varying complexity: it feels faster, though the measurements appear to be within an error tolerance of each other (read: there's no performance impact of this).

This was surprisingly easy given the number of errors I remember last time, but here it is. This also includes an over-engineered VisibilityProvider with the intention that it'll get used in the future for things like Spaces and other X as Rooms stuff.

When we're filtering the sticky room will be excluded from the filtered set, and thus won't even appear in the `getOrderedRoomsWithoutSticky()` result. Further, we will likely have to update the position ourselves to ensure the sticky room can be placed appropriately in the list.

This is in two parts itself: The `RoomSublist` needs to break its references to the `RoomListStore`, so it now clones the room arrays. The `Algorithm` is the other part, which is slightly more complicated.
It turns out that we weren't handling splicing as a change in the `ImportanceAlgorithm`, therefore the `Algorithm` wasn't really feeling like it needed to change anything. Further, the `Algorithm` was using the wrong reference to where it should be dumping rooms (`this.cachedRooms` is a getter which returns a different object depending on conditions), so having fixed that we need to ensure that the filtered and sticky maps are also updated when we remove a room. Because we send the new tag through a Timeline update, we'll end up updating the tag later on and don't need to update the filter and sticky collections.
This reduces the update cost of rooms changing, and fixes a bug where when a sublist became filtered it would change the notification count of the sublist.
This does change the expected usage of the state store to ensuring that only one place updates the rooms on the list states, which is currently the room list store. Ideally the state store could listen to the room list store to update itself, however due to a complicated require() loop it is not possible.
Fixes https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/14475
Background: Sticky rooms are actually a pair of lies to the underlying algorithm as a combination of REMOVE_ROOM/NEW_ROOM calls so they don't get considered as needing to be sorted. When a room is added under the importance algorithm, it is expected that the category it is being added to will be re-sorted to account for the change, however we weren't doing that since we optimized the NewRoom path to be a splice operation.

Design needs work, however this is behind labs anyways. This re-implements the behaviour of the old room list.
The implementation ended up being a lot easier due to early confusion with what the TagOrderStore and TagPanel take care of. Turns out they don't deal with tags, but groups. As such, we don't need to do anything with filtering (though we keep some sanity checks in place for safety), and just have to wire up the CustomRoomTagPanel and CustomRoomTagStore.

Turns out that we are so good at moving a room that when it flows through as a TIMELINE update the algorithm no-ops and does nothing, so don't do that.

**This option is not recommended as it completely obliterates all chances of being able to support someone with a broken room list. It is intended for specific testing scenarios only.**
The core of this is in the MarkedExecution class, with the remainder of the commit ensuring that the right marks and triggers are in place to do the firing.
Because everything is async/await and run through the RoomListStore, we don't have to worry about self-fed updates in the algorithm classes. This also means we have to trigger pretty much all the time.
Changes to tag ordering / list sorting get hit through two paths, so we mark before we do a bulk update and otherwise assume the call is coming in from outside.
For new rooms, we need to append to our list of known rooms. For tag changes, we need to be sure to update our cache when the tag can reasonably be assumed to have changed.

We were receiving a read receipt before a room object, leading to the algorithm to assume the room is archived (no membership), which was causing later index issues when the room tried to get moved from archived to untagged.
To prevent this, we just ignore nonsensical updates.
Fixes https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/14378
Rooms transitioning between multiple states are often at risk of going missing due to the sticky room handling. We now protect that transition by bluntly ensuring the room can't go missing, and by always ensuring we have an updated reference to the room.
Fixes https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/14372
We read/use the options in multiple places, and those places were not in sync. Now when algorithms change and on initial load, both will come to the same conclusions about how to order & sort the rooms.
