**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.
Known issues:
* Causes scroll jumps when the button gets added to DOM
* Resize handle is invisible when there's a show more button
TODO:
* Clean up comments
* Clean up useless code (all the padding stuff isn't needed)
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.
Previously we were creating a notification state whenever we needed one, which was leading to hundreds of listeners even on a small account. To ease the burden, and reduce the load of having to wake so many listeners, we now record a single listener for each tag ID and room combination.
This commit also introduces a number of utilities to make future notification work a bit of an easier transition, such as the `isX` and `hasX` getters on the new NotificationState abstract class. Similarly, "snapshots" have been added to reduce code duplication between different kinds of states checking for updates.
The ListNotificationState is now heavily tied into the store which offers it to help reuse the cache of room notification states.

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.
