**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 room list does a hefty amount of work, so instead of blocking the event loop with a `/sync` request and a bunch of room updates (as we can get multiple per sync) we can instead run it over several smaller tasks. The smaller tasks help the event loop do other things between our tasks, ensuring we don't inadvertently block the UI from rendering too slowly.
On my account and machine, this cuts the time to render in half (~30ms, down from ~60ms) .
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.
This is more general maintenance than performance as the RoomList doesn't need to be generating layouts for the sublists, and it certainly doesn't need to be creating a bunch of extra ones.
The sublists are perfectly capable of getting their own layout instance and using it, and we are perfectly able to limit the number of these things we create through the session's lifespan.

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.
We have to do a bit of a dance to return the sticky room to the list so we can remove it, if needed, and ensure that we generally swap the rooms out of the list.
This commit is a bit involved, as it factors the tag specific handling out of `/list-ordering` (and moves the `Algorithm` class one higher as a result), leaving it in the `Algorithm`. The algorithms for list ordering now only know how to handle a single tag, and this is managed by the `Algorithm` class - which is also no longer the base class for the list ordering. The list ordering algorithms now inherit from a generic `OrderingAlgorithm` base class which handles some rudimentary things.
Overall the logic hasn't changed much: the tag-specific stuff has been moved into the `Algorithm`, and the list ordering algorithms essentially just removed the iteration on tags. The `RoomListStore2` still shovels a bunch of information over to the `Algorithm`, which can lead to an awkward code flow however this commit is meant to keep the number of surfaces touched to a minimum.
The RoomListStore has also gained the ability to set per-list (tag) ordering and sorting, which is required for the new room list. The assumption that it defaults from the account-level settings is not reviewed by design, yet. This decision is deferred.

This adds support for:
* Tag changes
* DM changes
* Marking our own rooms as read
* Our own membership changes
The remaining branch we didn't need was the alternate 'new room' branch, so it was removed.
This is not optimized - optimization is deferred.
Originally this was intended to be done only in the importance algorithm, however it is clear that all algorithms will need to deal with this. As such, it has been put into the base class to deal with as we may override it in the future.
This commit should be self-documenting enough to describe what is going on, though the major highlight is that the handling of the sticky room is done by lying to the underlying algorithm.
This has not been optimized for performance yet.

This is an incomplete implementation and is mostly dumped in this state for review purposes. The remainder of the features/bugs are expected to be in more bite-sized chunks.
This exposes the RoomListStore on the window for easy access to things like the new filter functions (used in debugging).
This also adds initial handling of "new rooms" to the client, though the support is poor.
Known bugs:
* [ ] Regenerates the entire room list when a new room is seen.
* [ ] Doesn't handle 2+ filters at the same time very well (see gif. will need a priority/ordering of some sort).
* [ ] Doesn't handle room order changes within a tag yet, despite the docs implying it does.
Sorting and ordering has now been split apart. The ImportanceAlgorithm also finally makes use of the sorting.
So far metrics look okay at 3ms for a simple account, though this could potentially get worse due to the multiple loops involved (one for tags, one for categories, one for ordering). We might be able to feed a whole list of rooms into the thing and have it regenerate the lists on demand.
This is to get around the problem of a slow dispatch loop. Instead of slowing the whole app down to deal with room lists, we'll just raise events to say we're ready.
Based upon the EventEmitter class.
This does a number of things (sorry):
* Estimates the type changes needed to the dispatcher (later to be replaced by https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk/pull/4593)
* Sets up the stack for a whole new room list store, and later components for usage.
* Create a proxy class to ensure the app still functions as expected when the various stores are enabled/disabled
* Demonstrates a possible structure for algorithms
